Jews Milk Goats

By Gill Freedman

When Gill Freedman and her husband Jeremy decided to move to a smallholding in rural Bedfordshire many of their friends and family thought they were mad.

How could they leave behind the comforts of North London? What did they really know about raising chickens, sheep, cows and goats and growing fruit and vegetables? How would they cope with the mud, the wet and the cold? And how would they be able to observe their Jewish faith so far from the centres of Judaism in England?

Jews Milk Goats is the story of the trials and tribulations of a couple carrying out their day-to-day activity on a busy smallholding while also maintaining their Jewish way of life. Interweaving the Jewish Calendar and the rhythm of the farming year Gill also explores the chequered experience and treatment of the Jews throughout English history.

Jews Milk Goats shows how hard work, dedication, good humour and faith can lead to a life that is joyous, rich and full of adventure.
