Cohort One — now open

smallholder signal prepayment

Your place in the founding hundred.

A hundred households will anchor the estate. This is how you take one of those places.

The Smallholder tier is the anchor of our next Sussex estate — a hundred households co-owning the land, guiding its growth, and holding a permanent stake in everything the estate becomes. Cohort One is now open.

Your Signal Prepayment is the first 10% of a Smallholder commitment. It carries the collective weight that allows us to secure the land. It is not a fee. It is the act by which the estate becomes real.

how the commitment works

  • Signal Prepayment today £5,000
  • Farm Build Plan (once land is secured) £750 × 60 months
  • Total Smallholder commitment £50,000

what your place holds

  • 1,350m² legacy stake, represented by 1350 shares in the land holding company
  • Priority residency rights within the estate village, as opportunities come online
  • Enterprise and incubation rights for your own land-based business
  • Private serviced garden of 150m², designed with you
  • Free vegetables and eggs for life, from the estate and the wider network
  • Highest-priority allocation in times of scarcity
  • A real seat at the table in shaping the estate as it grows

Zero-loss entry. If the estate doesn't proceed within the build-plan window, 100% of your Signal Prepayment converts to Farm Credit you can spend on food from My Little Farm.

The founding hundred become the ones who made it possible.
