our vision
A future in which everyone belongs to the land that feeds them.
A country of little farms, held by the families they feed. It begins with a thousand acres in Sussex, and it grows by the region.
our mission
My Little Farm exists so anyone can reclaim responsibility for where their food comes from.
We belong to the land, steward it together, and eat what it gives in return. Everything is grown and raised with reverence for the land and the animals.
the premise
Our food system has stopped feeding us properly.
You feel it in the aisle. Shelves full of food, and none of it from anywhere you could name. Grown for shelf life, not nourishment, on land worked for yield, not health, by people paid last and least. Technically, we are fed. But nothing on the trolley has a face, a field or a season behind it.
That quiet unease is not you being difficult. It is you being right.
And the deeper problem was never really the food. Farmland has become an asset class, owned by fewer and fewer, priced far beyond the families who would love to work it and the farmers who already do. Somewhere along the way, we handed responsibility for the one thing no family can do without to systems that were never designed to care. It's the distance that has grown between people, the land that feeds them, and each other.
So we're taking that responsibility back. Belonging to the land, stewarding it together, and eating what it gives in return.
the simple idea
The people who eat from the farm should be the people who hold it.
This is what we're building, and it is disarmingly simple. We buy farmland with the community that will eat from it, and protect it so it can never be sold off or built over. The farmers who work it are paid first, not last. The families who belong to it eat from it at honest member prices, walk it whenever they like, and pass their place on to those who come after. And everything is grown and raised with reverence for the land and the animals.
When the names on the land are the names at the table, the incentives run one way only: toward care. We're at the beginning, learning as we go, one farm at a time. We'd love for you to help us build it.
Something that lasts
A real place in the land, yours to pass on to the generations after you.
Somewhere you belong
A community holding land together, near real food and the people who grow it.
A way to put it right
Land brought back out of the market, farm by farm, by the people who eat from it.
what we hold to
The values beneath everything we do.
A farm is only ever as good as the people who tend it, and the way they choose to tend it. These are the values we come back to, in the small decisions and the large ones alike.
We take radical responsibility.
It begins with ourselves. For our choices, our food, and our part in the whole. Reclaiming responsibility is the quiet act everything else grows from.
We treat everything with reverence.
The land, the animals, the tools, the plants. We take care of what is around us, and let that care show in the food and the days it makes.
We think in generations.
Not years. We plant what we may never sit beneath, and hold the land for the people who come long after us.
We stay incorruptible.
No sum changes the vision. The land is not an asset to flip, and it never will be. That is written into how we are built, not just how we feel.
We give generously, from abundance.
There is enough, when we hold it together. We lead with generosity and trust that a farm shared is a farm made richer, not poorer.
We stay humble, and open.
We never claim to know the whole truth. We learn as we go, try not to judge, and keep an open mind as the work teaches us.
We don't cut corners.
The slow, honest way is the only way that lasts. We would rather do less, and do it with care, than more at the cost of the land or the people.
what it becomes
More than farms. A way of life, held for good.
Families, not consumers
Half a million families, each anchored to real food from land they hold in common. Not customers of a food system, but custodians of one.
Villages, not just fields
Each farm grows into more than a field: gardens and gatherings, farm school for the children, workshops in the old crafts, and for some, a place to live and work.
Land in perpetuity
Every farm held in community ownership and kept in an asset-locked trust, so the land can never be sold from under the people again. Kept whole for the generations after us.
It begins with one farm, and one family at a time. The village grows by the household.
the ancient future
Many little farms, one sovereign village.
A village doesn't have to be one place on a map. It can be a community spread across the country: families everywhere, each near a little farm they hold and eat from, all part of the same village. It begins with a flagship farm anchoring a region of little farms, and the same model repeats, region by region, into a national network.
A flagship at the centre, with little farms all around, each held by the people who eat from it. My Little Farm Streat is the first, and it's open now.

a country fed from land it holds
The sovereign village isn't one place you move to. It's a country quietly rejoining itself to its food.
the blueprint
The supermarket, turned on its head.
In the supermarket's pound, the farmer keeps pennies and the rest flows to people who never touch the soil. We're building the opposite, and fixing it so it cannot drift: of every £1 a member spends, 90p goes to the land and the people who work it, and 10p to the platform and community that connect the network.
The worker first, not last. The land kept, not spent. That inversion is the whole point, and it is written into how we are structured, not just how we feel.
of every £1 spent
90p
goes to the land and the people who work it
Where a supermarket keeps most of the pound and hands the worker the scraps, we're turning it round: roughly 80p to the farmer who grows the food, 10p to the land itself, held in trust, and 10p to the platform and community that connect the network.
The worker first, not last. The land kept, not spent. That inversion is the whole point.
This is the blueprint we're building toward, one farm at a time.
it takes more than members
The land, and the people who work it.
for land workers
Farm land you don't have to own
If you're a grower held back only by the price of land, this is a way in. Work community-owned farms on a secure footing, with a whole community behind you instead of a bank. The skill is yours. The land is ours together.
for land owners
Land kept as land, for good
If you hold land you want protected and kept whole rather than sold or built on, we can bring it into community stewardship. Regenerated, opened to a community, and held in trust. A legacy, not a sale.
Member, grower or landholder, every path in begins the same way.
an honest invitation
None of this happens without people choosing to step in.
Not as spectators. Not as customers. As members willing to share in the future they want to see. We're only at the beginning, and if you feel the pull toward something slower, sturdier and more human, you're warmly invited to walk with us.
