About
If you’re thinking about getting animals or starting a smallholding, our courses will give you the knowledge and confidence to get started at home. Or try a rural skill like laying hedges, building a dry stone wall, or weaving willow. There’s plenty for foodies too with foraging and baking.
Stay on Kate Humble’s farm: wake up to the sounds of animals right at the heart of a real working farm.
Choose from: The Piggery – a cosy two-bed cottage that’s great for families or couples; or The Hayloft – a studio flat for two at the heart of the farm.
