The Good Life

Pam Bowers moved with her family from a housing estate in Hertfordshire to a cottage in Lincolnshire to begin the self-sufficient life. It's now a successful organic vegetable farm

In the 1970s, Pam Bowers had a dream of leaving her Hertfordshire housing estate and setting up a self-sufficient life. She moved with her family to a cottage in Lincolnshire with an acre of land to make the dream a reality.

After years of selling the vegetables they grew to help pay the bills, it slowly evolved into a business, and the family now grow veg across 53 acres. They've stayed organic throughout the process, and have learnt all sorts of 'hacks' for making it work.
