what you're founding

A working farm, a sanctuary,
and a place to belong.

Every farm we take on is different, but the dream is always the same: land farmed back to life, open to the people who hold it, and kept for good. A working farm, a sanctuary, and in time, a place some will call home.

Market garden beds and forest gardens

the abundance

Land farmed back to life.

Pasture and woodland, a market garden heavy with the season, orchards and animals raised the slow way. We farm regeneratively from the first season, so the soil is left more alive each year, and the food it grows reaches members fresh.

The long table where the community gathers

the gathering

A heart to gather in.

A farmhouse and barns brought back into life as the farm shop and cafe, the long table, and the space for the eight seasonal gatherings that mark our year. A home, shared, where the community comes together.

A lake at dusk, a place to rest

the sanctuary

Places to restore.

An orchard to wander, water to sit beside, a wood-fired sauna, and corners left wild on purpose. Walking paths and quiet places woven through the working land, somewhere to disappear into when you need to.

The members' cabin, a place to learn and work

the learning

Room to learn and make.

Farm school for the children, workshops in the old crafts, and a cabin with a desk to work from. The skills our grandparents knew, passed on again, woven into an ordinary week.

The farm under the South Downs

putting down roots

And, in time, a place to live.

As a farm grows, homes on the land can open to members who want to put down deeper roots: a chance to live the smallholding life within a community that holds the ground in common. Not for everyone, but there for those who feel the pull.

No two farms are the same. Each is shaped by the people who join it, and built, season by season, into a place worth belonging to.

one region, many farms

Your place grows with the region.

You're not joining a single farm, you're founding a region. We're securing our regional flagship next, the farm that will anchor and supply a network of little farms across Sussex. Your founding stake is recorded once, and grows with the whole region.

The flagshipsecuring nextStreatour first farm, open now

The flagship at the centre, with little farms around it. My Little Farm, Streat is open now, and each new farm is seeded and supplied by the flagship, so no community starts from scratch.

What that means for your place.

Recorded once, held for good

Recorded in your name, held in trust, and passed on. It never resets as the region grows.

Your access widens

As each new farm opens, your membership opens with it. More land, more harvests, more gatherings.

First in line, and a say

You help decide where we build next, and you're first through the gate when a farm opens near you.

Beyond Sussex, a network

Sussex is the first region. In time, a national network of community-owned farms, and your place belongs to it.

You're not founding one farm. You're founding a whole region, held by the people who eat from it.

for those who work the land

One in ten places, held for the hands that tend the land.

1 sponsored place among every 10 founders

Land workers are at the very heart of what we're building. For every nine founders who step in, a tenth place is held, fully sponsored, for a grower who will earn their stake by tending the land for the wider community.

They hold the same stake, the same voice, the same welcome as every other founder. Because those who give their hands and their days to the land should own a piece of it, not just work it for someone else.

And it begins with all of us. Every community membership helps hold these places open. Join for £100 a year, and you help make a real stake in the land possible for the hands that tend it.

the first step

Start where every founder starts.

Join us for £100 a year. Not a donation, not a deposit. It's how you put your first foot on the land and join the people building this.

  • Your first square metre. A piece of the land, recorded in your name from the day you join.
  • A place in the community. The member portal, the people, the seasonal gatherings, and the online farm shop.
  • First in line. Invited ahead of the public as founding places open, and as deeper opportunities appear.
  • A say in where we go next, and the path deeper whenever you're ready. No pressure, ever.

It's the smallest step, and it's the one that starts everything.

Your first square metre included. Fully refundable for 30 days, and it's yours to keep. Not ready to join? Leave your details and we'll send you the full founding offer.
