The experience

A small farm in a beautiful location!
Our farm and home probably date back to pre 1660's, with many additions since. It has been left to go wild for the last 40 years.
The river has otters, seals, beavers, salmon, sea trout, and sea bass. With buzzards and owls overhead. There are deer in the surrounding woodland.
If you want to help and improve a sustainable way of life, come and help us with an open heart.
All levels of help are needed.
