Author and Merino farmer Maggie MacKellar uses beautiful writing to educate the masses
Maggie MacKellar is an author and writer who lives with her partner Jim on a fine wool farm on the east coast of Tasmania. As a child she used to love spending time on her grandparents sheep farm in central west NSW but they were vastly different sheep, they were Dorsets, Poll Dorsets and Black Faced Suffolks.
When Maggie moved to Tasmania 10 years ago, she fell in love with the curious ways of the Merino sheep. She made it her mission to take time to watch their temperament, they way they ate, mothered and many other intricate details of the Merino sheep - and then she would write about her observations.
In recent time Maggie has written numerous columns for lifestyle magazines, Graziher and Country Style, detailing in beautiful words a day in her life as a fine wool farmer and in 2023 she will be releasing her latest book, The Lambing Diaries.
