Episode 150: Helen Whybrow - The Salt Stones

Helen Whybrow is a nonfiction author, journalist, professor, and farmer. In 2001 she and her partner set out to restore Knoll Farm, an old two-hundred-acre farm in the heart of the Green Mountains of Vermont. On this episode of Nature Revisited, our friend Scott Chaskey invites Helen to discuss her 25 years on Knoll Farm raising Icelandic sheep and how she approached reflecting on those experiences in her intimate and profoundly moving memoir The Salt Stones - Seasons of a Shepherd's Life. As she intertwined her life with the land, Helen realized that the art of shepherding extends far beyond the flock and fences of a farm, revealing a way of life that is at once ancient and entirely contemporary, inspiring us all to seek greater intimacy and a sense of belonging wherever our home place may be.
