stewardship at my little farm

Food, grown by people you know. Land, held in your name.

Stewardship at My Little Farm turns your weekly shop into a stake in the land and a rhythm your week has been quietly missing.

what stewardship gives you

Three things, returning to your life.

A weekly rhythm of real food. A growing stake in British farmland. A pantry that stays full when others don't.

every week

Real food, harvested for you.

Vegetables harvested that morning, eggs from pasture-raised hens, meat from heritage breeds raised on our land.

every year

A stake in British farmland.

Each year you remain a Steward, a piece of land is added to your name in the Community Land Registry. It compounds.

when it matters

A source of your own.

Grown for you on land you help steward. A direct source of your own, steady whatever the world outside is doing.

the idea, simply

Your food budget, reimagined.

Most of us spend more than £50 a week on food. Stewardship is a choice about where that money goes.

the old way

The Supermarket

£50+

per week

Your money vanishes through tills, lorries, distribution centres, and the shelves of someone else's company. The growers, if there are any, are paid last and least. You receive the groceries. The rest leaves with someone else.

the steward's way

My Little Farm

same

spend, a different shape

Your food budget reaches land you help steward, farmers you know by name, and a stake in British farmland held in your name — alongside nutrient dense food that arrives each week.

If you're already buying groceries, you've already paid for this.

what it looks like

A year in the life of a Steward.

Stewardship is a rhythm, not a subscription. It threads through your week, your seasons, and your life — quietly, steadily. Here's what that rhythm is made of.

A seasonal produce box from My Little Farm, with fresh vegetables and eggs

wednesdays

Your food arrives.

Seasonal vegetables, pasture-raised eggs, meat from animals raised on the farm you help steward. A set box if you want ease, or a basket of your own choosing — weekly, fortnightly, or whenever the larder's low.

Food grown with intention. On your terms.

The My Little Farm shop on a Saturday morning, fresh produce laid out on the counter

saturdays

Morning at the farm shop.

Ten to two at the farm gate. Fresh produce, eggs, honey, preserves — everything the farm makes, laid out on the table. Your Farm Credit buys as you go, and the people you meet over the counter tend to become the people you know.

You come for the eggs. You stay for the conversation.

Members of the My Little Farm community gathered together

all week long

A community on the other side of the receipt.

Every Thursday evening, the community gathers online. Farm updates from Keivor and the team. Questions from members. A foraging walk someone filmed at the weekend. The kind of conversation that reminds you why you joined.

Between calls, the private member network runs continuously — people across the country sharing what they know, swapping recipes, building relationships.

Food is how it starts. Community is what makes it last.

A seasonal gathering at the farm — bonfire, breadmaking, or harvest celebration

through the year

The old calendar, kept alive.

Imbolc in February. Beltane in May. Lammas in August. Samhain in November. The cross-quarter days our grandparents knew, marked again — with breadmaking, foraging, seed-saving, preserving, and the occasional bonfire.

Afternoons that return something to you that modern life quietly took away.

A hand holding a My Little Farm Community Land Registry certificate

each year, on your anniversary

Your land stake is certified.

Every year you remain a Steward, a piece of land is added to your holding in the Community Land Registry — recorded, dated, held in your name. It starts small. It compounds patiently. And unlike most things you pay for, it stays with you for good.

The most patient investment you can make.

This is what members tell us matters most: that for the first time in a long time, they feel like they belong somewhere real. They know people on the other side of the screen. They eat from soil they help care for. They are part of something that is visibly, measurably being built — and they are building it together.

farm credit

Most of what you pay comes straight back as food.

Most food subscriptions decide for you. My Little Farm does things differently. Your Farm Credit lands each month as a balance held in your name, for you to spend as you want. You're never paying for food you didn't want, and never missing food you did.

how Harvest Stewardship splits

£195 a month

£150 Farm Credit
£45 Land & Network

£150 Farm Credit — designated toward food, produce, and experiences from My Little Farm.

£45 platform — the community infrastructure, the Land Registry, and the team behind it.

and collectively

Every year, Stewards across the network protect and regenerate another acre of British farmland. Then another. Then another.

Not as a metaphor. As a fact.

why this is different

A farm growing food for you.
Not waiting for whoever turns up.

Most farms — even the good ones, even the small ones — grow first and sell second. They plant what they hope will sell, harvest what comes, and offer it to whoever walks through the gate. When supply is short, the food goes to whoever is there first.

most farms

Grow first. Sell second.

They plant whatever they hope the market will want, harvest whatever the season gives, and offer it to whoever walks through the gate first.

our farms

Grown for you.

We plan each farm's year around the people in it — the hens through winter, the seeds in spring, the animals we raise, all sized to the Stewards who depend on us.

Stewardship inverts this

three ways in

Choose the Stewardship that fits your life.

Every tier is a genuine stake in the land. The difference is how deeply Stewardship lives in your week — from a first foothold, to your food woven into the farm, to seven-day access of your own.

Farm Stewardship is offered by application and opens at Peppers in May 2027 — places are limited to the output of the land.

questions worth asking

The things people actually want to know.

Stewardship is a real commitment, and the questions that come up before joining are worth answering plainly. Here are the ones we hear most.

  • one

    What if I need to cancel?

    Stewardship is a 12-month commitment. The reason is practical — the farm plans a year ahead based on memberships, from how many hens to keep laying through winter to what's planted in the spring. A revolving-door membership doesn't make a farm.

    That said, life happens. If something genuinely changes — illness, redundancy, a move abroad — write to us. We handle these case by case, with flexibility rather than small print.

    At the end of your 12 months, you can step down, step up, pause, or continue as you are. Your land stake is yours regardless.

  • two

    What happens if the farm can't continue?

    We don't plan to fail — but it's a fair question, and worth answering.

    The Community Land Registry is structured so that member stakes persist independently of our operational form. Any unspent Farm Credit balance would be honoured or refunded under the terms of membership. And the land itself — unlike a purely digital product — is a real asset, bought and held, not evaporated in a server shutdown.

    The point of Stewardship is precisely to take food sovereignty out of fragile, extractive structures. That includes ours.

  • three

    I'm not in Sussex. Can I still join?

    Yes. Most of our Stewards aren't local to our first farm, The Streat Garden — weekly boxes are delivered nationwide by overnight courier. The Thursday community calls, the member network, the seasonal announcements — all online. Most of Stewardship happens wherever you are.

    As new farms come online in new regions, your Farm Credit works at every one of them. Stewardship is a national membership. The Streat Garden is simply the first farm.

  • four

    Is my land stake a legal deed?

    No — and if it were, it would change the product entirely. A deeded plot of British farmland comes with solicitors, conveyancing fees, stamp duty, land registry costs, and a starting price measured in tens of thousands of pounds. None of that is what Stewardship is.

    What your land stake is: a dated, named entry in the Community Land Registry, backed by the land holdings of My Little Farm, held in your name indefinitely. A formal, permanent record of your share in the land we're collectively protecting.

  • five

    Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier later?

    Upgrade any time — if you start as a Community Steward and want to step up to Harvest after three months, we'll handle it on a pro-rata basis.

    Downgrade at your anniversary — if a tier stops fitting your household, you can step down when your 12-month cycle renews. Your land stake continues to accrue at whatever tier you're on.

  • six

    What's the minimum commitment?

    12 months, paid monthly or yearly. The commitment is real because the farm work is real — a planting year, a laying cycle, a harvest. If that feels like a lot to take on before you've met us, we'd suggest starting with a Taster Box or joining our next Discovery Call.

    No one has ever been worse off from a Saturday at the farm.
