In his youth, Peter Finch wove his way through a series
of exploits and adventures. Travels took him to Canada ,
where a fateful encounter in the Rocky Mountains
opened up new horizons. In midlife he and his wife Gundi made the shift to
country living, ushering in a new phase in their life, as they set down roots
in the hills and settled into a deliberately simplified lifestyle.
Peter relates how he and Gundi immersed themselves in ways
guided by nature. As she created and sold glass sculptures, he sunk his hands
and tools into pure glacial-till soils, sowing, planting, and growing culinary and
medicinal herbs, heirloom vegetables and salad greens to take to farmers markets
and restaurants in and around Toronto .
Invigorated by the pleasures and health benefits of growing, selling, and
eating fresh organic food, Peter reveals how he became a passionate advocate of
traditional, small-scale, chemical-free farming.
High Up in the Rolling Hills shares the personal journey
of an independent couple as they explore the vital role of nature, creativity,
and healthy food in life.
