About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Growing up on the Wirral, Hannah Jackson had no idea she wanted to work on a farm until a life-changing family visit to the Lake District in her late teens. It was there where she first saw a lamb being born, giving her the drive to defy her urban roots and become a professional shepherd. She never looked back.

In this uplifting and inspirational memoir, Hannah shares how she broke the stereotypes of her 'townie' beginnings, took risks and faced up to the challenges of being a young woman in a male-dominated industry and followed her heart to become the Red Shepherdess. But behind the beautiful landscape, talented sheepdogs and eye-catching red hair was a steep learning curve. The physically and mentally demanding conditions she faced as she chased her dreams to build her own Cumbrian farm taught Hannah the values the holds true, including community, leadership, patience and resilience.

In Call Me Red, Hannah gives a unique insight into farming life and reveals a mindset and determination that proves no matter your background, with hard graft (and a loyal sheepdog) you can make your dreams a reality.

Loved listening to this whilst doing farm work. Made setting up electric fences an enjoyable task which is hard to do! Loved hearing about Hannah's passions and the fair account of what it's like to be a woman in agriculture. Whether people will admit it or not there is still a negative perception that women are helpers and not the main driving force. As a fellow lady farmer it's great to hear someone stand up but do it in a way that shows grit and determination and showing why women have a place.
