FIELDS, FOLDS & FARMING LIFE

Book promo images 1

In 2021 the National Trust invited Valerie to spend a year exploring the lives and environment of their tenant upland farmers in Bransdale, North Yorkshire.

Fields, Folds & Farming Life is the book that accompanies the resulting exhibition generously hosted by the National Trust at Nunnington Hall in North Yorkshire from 9th September - 17th December 2023.

The theme running through the exhibition & book is about the importance of balance between nature and farming/land management. Success relies on finding a balance in an ever-changing industry.

Valerie says “Photography has the power to capture a moment in history, and my hope is that these images paint a picture of the spirit, stoicism and joy of these local farming families and communities today. I wish to share some of the joy & inspiration about farming and nature that I discovered from my year in Bransdale.”
