The accidental farmer

  • Darley Smith Building 1 Darley Road Manly, NSW, 2095 Australia (map)
 

From avocado-smashing inner city writer to his father’s once-a-hobby-but-now-an-actual farm in the Yass Valley, Sam Vincent found himself on the family farm deputising for his father after an accident. It was a farming apprenticeship of “grit and shit”. But it is also a tale of affection, belonging, learning, humility, inter-generational differences, and legacy—and the winner of the 2023 Prime Minister’s prize for Literary Non-Fiction. 

In conversation with Summer Land.
