Farmers Guardian podcast: Helen Rebanks: Farming, food, family and her new book, The Farmer's Wife

Helen Rebanks is probably one of the most well-known farming women in the industry.

Farming alongside her husband, James, both have a passion for farming hand-in-hand with nature. With over 25,000 followers on Instagram, her life out in the hills in the Lake District has become something of a fascination to people and, in her new book, The Farmer's Wife, Emily Ashworth sits down with Helen in her farmhouse near Penrith, to talk about farming, food and family.

We also talk about the value of the more traditional roles in society - as Helen says, work inside the home is as important as the work outside.
