About Hadden Turner
Welcome to the Field
This is a gathering place for the agrarian-minded — those who look to the fields and forests for life and sustenance. This is a way place for those on the long pilgrimage to the ‘Good Life’ — a journey for weary souls buffeted by the pressures of modern, fast-paced life.
The writer standing out in this field is Hadden Turner, a 28-year-old living in the north of England. Although he does not farm himself, most of his days are spent metaphorically walking the footpaths, alleys, glades, and drystone walls of the fields surrounding him, seeking inspiration from the Good Farms and their Good Farmers.
You will frequently bump into other familiar travellers on this journey towards the ‘Good Life’ through the essays that make up these fields, travellers who all have the somewhat paradoxical nature of being rooted to their place while journeying away from the hustle and bustle of the ‘Machine’. Wendell Berry, Paul Kingsnorth, Hannah Anderson, Norman Wirzba, James Rebanks, James C.
