here's the life it opens up

A working farm, woven through your week.

Everything Stewardship opens up at our farm in Sussex, from the gardens to the gatherings, and all of it booked with your farm tokens.

Harvesting vegetables and collecting eggs at Streat Garden

Harvest your supper from the gardens.

Walk the market garden, lift what's ready, gather eggs still warm from the nest. Or have the week's box delivered to your door. The shortest food chain there is.

your weekly food with tokens
The co-working cabin at Streat Garden

Work from the cabin while the children learn.

Book a desk in the members' cabin, wifi and a kettle and a window full of garden, while the little ones spend the morning sowing, foraging and holding a chick without fear.

book the cabin with tokens
An evening gathering around the fire at Streat Garden

Pull up a chair by the fire with the farm team.

Join the crew as the work winds down: a fire, a flask passed round, the day's stories and the season's plans. You're not a visitor here, you're one of us.

join an evening with tokens
The wood-fired sauna at Streat Garden

Thaw the week in the wood-fired sauna.

Book an hour in the sauna after a walk round the gardens, and the week sets itself down. Because a farm should restore you, not only feed you.

book a session with tokens
A hands-on workshop on the land

Learn the old skills in a workshop.

Sourdough, foraging, seed-saving, the crafts our grandparents knew, run on the land through the year and yours to book whenever one calls to you.

Bell tents on the meadow's edge at Streat Garden

Stay the night in a bell tent.

Pitch up on the meadow's edge, the children loose until dark, a fire and a sky with no streetlight to argue with it. Wake on the farm, and the weekend feels twice as long.

book a stay with tokens

And eight times a year, the whole community gathers for the old festivals our grandparents knew. Your seat is always kept.

near or far

However far you live, it still adds up.

if you're nearby

The rhythm of your week.

Make the farm part of every week: the harvest, the cabin to work from, the sauna, farm school for the children, and a seat at every gathering. The whole smallholder life, minutes from home, without the early mornings.

if you're further afield

The farm comes to you.

Your harvest box where we deliver, the farm as your retreat for weekends and seasonal stays, and tokens you can save for the visits that matter. A real, growing stake in British farmland, and first in line when a farm opens near you.

Separately, these are a veg subscription, a co-working desk, a forest school place, a sauna membership and a festival ticket. Together, they're one membership, and most of it is the food money you'd spend anyway.

Joining My Little Farm is the best money I’ve spent. Our first harvest box was incredible. Can't wait to taste the meat!"

what it's really worth

A whole smallholding, for about £10 a week.

Stewardship isn't one thing, it's a working farm woven through your week. Bought separately, elsewhere, it would look like this:

what you'd pay for this elsewhere

Weekly veg & eggs£55/mo
A desk to work from£140/mo
Farm school for the children£120/mo
The wood-fired sauna£70/mo
Workshops & gatherings£75/mo
Nights under canvas£40/mo
Elsewhereover £500/mo

what you actually pay

You pay £195 / month
Comes back as farm tokensthe food money you'd spend anyway − £150 / month

So the farm really costs ≈ £10 a week

And something no subscription can match: a real stake in the farm, recorded in your name, with the full run of the place seven days a week.

No payment to join the list. We're opening more places this year, and you'll be first in line as they open.

your farm, your way

No fixed box. You choose.

Most farm memberships hand you a set box on a set day. Yours doesn't. You choose exactly what you'd like to eat, and when, and whether it comes to you or you come to it.

You choose

Pick exactly what you'd like from the app, as much or as little as you need, whenever it suits you.

We harvest it

Picked fresh from the beds the same day, never sitting on a shelf or in a warehouse.

Delivered, or you collect

Have it brought to your door, or come and gather it from the gardens yourself.

And it's the same with everything else. The sauna, the cabin, a workshop, a night under canvas, book the moment you fancy it, right from the app, all with your farm tokens.

the good life, a few minutes from home

A place on the land, kept for you.

Redirect the food money you already spend, and step into the whole life of a working farm: the harvest, the gardens, the sauna, the gatherings, and a growing stake in the land. Places open in small intakes this year.

honest answers

Questions worth asking.

  • What if I can't visit very often?

    It still works. Your harvest box comes to you where we deliver, your tokens can be saved for weekends and seasonal stays, and your stake in the land grows whether you're there or not. And you're first in line as we open farms closer to you.

  • What exactly are farm tokens?

    They're the farm's single currency. £150 of your £195 lands back with you each month as tokens, to spend on anything: the food box, the café, the sauna, the cabin, workshops, stays. Top up whenever you like, and unspent tokens stay yours.

  • So what does it really cost me?

    Most of us already spend the £150 on food. So once you redirect it, the farm and everything on it comes to about £45 a month. Around £10 a week for a real stake in a working farm and the full run of the place.

  • Can I cancel?

    Yes. Stewardship runs month to month, and you can pause or cancel whenever you need to. Any tokens you've built up stay yours to spend. No long contract, no penalty.

  • Do I have to farm, or know how to grow?

    Not at all. The farm is run by a professional team. You come for the food, the gardens and the life of the place. The smallholder life, without the early mornings or the learning curve.

  • When do places open?

    We open more Stewarding places through the year, in small intakes so the farm stays unhurried. Joining the waitlist costs nothing and puts you first in line. We'll be in touch the moment a place opens for you.
