Over 2026 we need help to maintain the woodland and develop new growing spaces. We also need help maintaining the strawbale barn and with general site maintenance. We have one small caravan for your accommodation. There is a toilet and cooker in the caravan. You also have access to our barn with kitchen, living room space and wifi.
We are between Dartmoor and the coast with lovely beaches. We are not far from the market town of Totnes. We get beautiful clear starry nights and soft rolling hills views in the daytime.
It would be helpful if you had your own transport to get off site for their own shopping, pleasure and social time but we have a car on site so can drop you places of you can come with us when we go off site. There are 2 of us live here and 2 more people come regularly to manage land. We can introduce you to lots of nice people of all ages because we run events on other farms as well as here as part of an educational project.
We start with a video call to make sure you are happy with what you see before you come. Then we can really find out what it is you want from your stay and we can think about how we can help you achieve this during your time with us. If you wanted to stay a bit longer with us we are happy for you to do your own projects here.

Local area
We are in the heart of south Devon between Dartmoor National Park and the coast which is an area of outstanding natural beauty, each about half an hour drive away. If you like nature and the countryside we have that covered. We are 7 miles from Totnes which is a quaint, happening little market town with good rail and coach connections. We are about half an hour away from Plymouth in one direction and Exeter in the other.
