Cohort One — now open

real food signal prepayment

Your place in the founding five hundred.

Five hundred households, their families' food anchored to the land. This is how you take one of those places.

Real Food anchors your family's food to our next Sussex estate — five hundred households co-owning the working farm and drawing a guaranteed harvest from it. Cohort One is now open.

Your Signal Prepayment is the first 10% of a Real Food 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£1,000
  • Farm Build Plan (once land is secured)£150 × 60 months
  • Total Real Food commitment£10,000

what your place holds

  • 150m² co-ownership stake, recorded in your name in the Community Land Registry and held, asset-locked, in the trust
  • Guaranteed food security — your allocated Harvest Stewardship: a weekly box of seasonal vegetables and eggs from the estate and wider network
  • A real vote in shaping the estate as it grows
  • Seasonal gatherings and hands-on participation days through the build
  • A founder's welcome, and 20% off across the farm and the wider network
  • Belonging for your whole household, children included
  • An inheritable stake, held for good

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 five hundred become the ones who made it possible.
