- "The astonishing story of a young brother and sister faced with an unimaginable task - escaping eviction from their family home of 700 years, and saving their livelihood. Arthur Hollins, ran Fordhall Farm in Shropshire from the age of 14 until his death aged 90, and inspired his children with his zeal for organic farming. So when their landlord informed them that they would have to achieve the seemingly impossible and raise 800,000 pounds to buy the farm or face eviction, Ben and Charlotte refused to give in without a fight. Aided by the Community Development Manager Sophie Hopkins and volunteers from across the country, the Hollinses set up the Fordhall Community Land Initiative, which allows members of the public to buy a 50 pound non-profit share in the farm. With an appeal in national newspapers and on television, the cheques were soon flooding in as the community rallied to save this special piece of farming history."
- "Foreword by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.This is the astonishing story of a young brother and sister's struggle to escape eviction from their family home of 700 years. Fordhall Farm was once a thriving organic farm, run by pioneering farmer Arthur Hollins, but, threatened by competition from multi-national companies and under pressure from developers, the future looked bleak - even more so after Arthur's death in 2005. His two young children, Ben and Charlotte, refused to give in and set about raising £800,000, establishing a ground-breaking community-ownership scheme. Today over 8000 people own a stake in Fordhall, with supporters including Prince Charles, Prunella Scales, Sting and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall."
