what £50,000 buys
Three things, held in your name.
Becoming a Smallholder is the deepest tier of My Little Farm membership. It's not a subscription. It's co-ownership of a working farm estate — your share of the company, your own private garden, and a hundred-acre home you can return to whenever you choose.

from the creators of My Little Farm
Dear fellow steward,
A few years ago, we set out to answer a single, fundamental question: what would it look like if families could truly own the source of their life?
Not just buy from it — own it.
We began with fifteen acres in Sussex and a small community who believed in a shared truth: that land should be held in trust, for food, for nature, and for the generations who follow us. Together, we proved that the path is not just possible but essential. We restored soil, fed households, built something real.
But the pilot was never the destination. It was always the beginning.
Now we're ready for the next step at scale — securing our next 100 acres in Sussex. Not as a distant ambition, but as a strategic necessity. To build what we know is possible, we need land enough to hold it: a hundred-acre ecosystem of forest gardens, regenerative pastures, and member sanctuaries, capable of feeding a hundred households for generations.
We're inviting you to join us — not just as a supporter, but as a co-founder and co-creator of what comes next.
With warmth and determination,
Keivor & Laure
the estate
A working estate, ready for community life.
Nearly a hundred acres of Sussex, held by the same family for thirty-five years. The land, the buildings, the infrastructure are all already here. We're not starting from scratch. We're stepping into something whole.
97
acres of freehold land
5

16k

acre fishing lake
a place to gather
A six-bedroom farmhouse, kept the way you'd want it kept.
Thirty-five years of careful stewardship show in everything. Original beams, real fires, a kitchen that's hosted thousands of meals. The kind of farmhouse that's been waiting for the next chapter.
We'll open it to members for stays, retreats, co-working and the eight Celtic gatherings that mark our year. A home, shared.
infrastructure, ready
An indoor riding school the size of a wedding barn. And then some.
An American barn with twelve loose boxes. A timber-clad pole barn. Brick stabling and hay store. Sixteen thousand square feet of working space, already standing, already insulated, already wired.
We'll bring this into immediate use as the farm shop and café, food processing, member events, and the gathering space that lets the estate hold a community without losing its quiet.
the land itself
Pasture, woodland, and a view to the South Downs.
Mature pasture managed for thirty-five years without harm. An ancient deciduous wood. Mature hedgerows holding the field boundaries. The kind of land that's already alive, already layered, and asking only to keep going.
We'll farm it regeneratively from the first season. Cattle through summer, sheep through winter, the market garden producing weekly food for the network. Soil left more alive than we found it, year on year.
space for stillness
A mature orchard, a one-acre lake, and corners that belong to the wild.
A working orchard that's been cared for across decades. A fishing lake big enough to row across. Quiet corners that have been left alone, deliberately, by people who knew the value of leaving things alone.
We'll keep the wild parts wild. Member gardens, walking paths, and gathering circles will sit alongside the working farm, never on top of it. Peppers will be a place to disappear into when you need to, and to find each other in when you're ready.
Every one of these spaces becomes part of how the community lives, gathers, and grows together.
what comes back
A working farm gives back.
Smallholder Founding Membership isn't a donation. It's co-ownership of a productive farm — returning food to the table, Farm Credits each year, optional income when life shifts, and a stake that grows over time.
every week
Free veg & eggs
with active Harvest Stewardship
A share of the harvest, every week.
Smallholders on Harvest Stewardship receive a complimentary weekly box of seasonal vegetables and 12 eggs, ready to collect on-farm or preparred for home delivery.

An annual distribution.
A share of the farm's revenue, paid annually as Farm Credits. Larger stakes earn larger distributions — and the share grows as the farm grows.

how the hundred come together
One hundred Smallholders, one shared stake.
Every Smallholder Founding Member holds an equal stake in the estate, with the same legal shares and the same voice in shaping it. Where join order matters is in the residential opportunities that emerge as the estate grows.

What happens from here
The estate is held. The agreement is in place. The work now is to bring the founding hundred together, take possession of the land, and complete the acquisition into clean freehold. Three phases. Transparent about the timeline. Honest about the pace.
1
Bringing the founding hundred together
The estate is secured under a phased acquisition agreement. The work now is to assemble the hundred Smallholder households whose signal prepayments and Build Plans fund the freehold. As each household joins, we move closer to Payment One — the moment the land becomes ours to work.
2
Taking possession, beginning the work
With the cohort assembled and Payment One complete, we take operational possession of the 100-acre estate. The working farm begins from the first season — pasture grazing, the market garden, food going out to members within months of the keys turning. The dwellings, barns, and infrastructure mean the estate is alive and productive on Day One, not after years of build-out.
3
Completing the freehold
The Build Plan continues. Payment Two clears at month 18, Payment Three at month 36, with the working farm maturing alongside. By month 60, the full £6M is paid, the freehold is held outright by the community, and Peppers stands as a permanent, multi-generational asset of the founding hundred.
trust & transparency
The founders' guarantee
Three commitments we make to every Smallholder, in return for the trust you're placing in us.
1
Shares issued before payment
Your £5,000 signal secures your place. We won't ask for the £45,000 balance until your 1,350 shares are formally issued in your name on the company register and recorded at Companies House. Your stake is held before your money is.
2
Zero-loss entry
The signal prepayment isn't a fee. If the vision doesn't proceed within the build plan window, 100% of your contribution is returned as Farm Credit you can spend on food from My Little Farm.
3
Pace with progress
We build in rhythm with our community. Capital is deployed against physical progress on the ground — roads, water, fencing, infrastructure. You see what your contribution has built, as it's built.
the capital plan
How the estate gets built
The estate is funded by the community that holds it. Three cohorts join in sequence, each unlocking the next phase of what Peppers becomes — from clean freehold, to a fully developed working farm, to the wider sanctuary that grows from it.
1
phase one
the founding hundred
£5M
100 Smallholders × £50,000
Anchoring the freehold
The Smallholder cohort carries the first phase. Their commitment funds the £6M phased acquisition of Peppers and brings the estate into community ownership. Without this hundred, none of what follows happens.
running total
£5,000,000

phase two
good life founders
+£5M
200 Good Life × £25,000
Completing Peppers, fully built
As Good Life Founders join, the £10M total completes the Peppers acquisition and funds full estate development — infrastructure, farming engine, member sanctuaries, and the operational shape of a thriving working farm.
running total
£10,000,000

phase three
real food founders
+£7M
700 Real Food × £10,000
Expanding outward, patiently
Real Food Founders join in the widest cohort. The additional £7M powers expansion onto neighbouring land, deeper farming enterprises, and the slow, deliberate growth of the sanctuary outward across the years that follow.

Where the capital goes
As each cohort joins, capital is deployed across four strategic pillars — ensuring the land is secure, the farm is productive, and the sanctuary is incorruptible from day one.
| Pillar | What it builds | Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Land endowment | Acquisition of Peppers, expansion onto neighbouring land, and the permanent asset-lock legal trust. | £9,000,000 |
| Infrastructure | Off-grid energy, water security, member sanctuaries, and access infrastructure. | £2,650,000 |
| Farming engine | Regenerative equipment, livestock, and the operational shape of a working farm. | £2,850,000 |
| Strategic shield | Project delivery, legal defence, and a working capital reserve held for the long view. | £2,500,000 |
| Total capital deployed | £17,000,000 | |
and beyond
A hundred acres is where we begin. A thousand is where we're going.
As the founding hundred take their place, we'll keep going. Working with neighbouring farms, deepening our enterprises, and steadily expanding the sanctuary outward across the land that surrounds us. The hundred acres is the seed. The thousand is the place we grow into.
how the sanctuary growsthe path
A journey from 15 to one thousand acres.
Not in a single stroke. Not in a single season. Estate by estate, and each estate earned by the last.

Streat Garden
Our first farm, near Lewes in Sussex. Fifteen acres that proved the model — living soil, fed households, a working community.
100

Peppers Farm Estate
A hundred acres, anchored by the first hundred Smallholders. The working heart of the thousand-acre vision. This is what we're building now.
1,000

One Thousand Acres
A thousand households, co-owning the land, receiving its food, and passing their stake forward. Built over the decades ahead, not demanded in one.
Every step earns the next. The Streat Garden earned the right to take on a hundred acres. A hundred acres will earn the right to take on the next hundred. This is how the thousand comes together.
