You will be able to apply to become a resident in 2026. We were hoping to continue in 2026, but we have had financial difficulties and are now in administration.

1. If the property can be repurchased, the group will be inviting people to apply to live and work here for 6 months before being fully accepted as a resident and mutual owner.

2. Residents will share up to 15 acres of diverse and beautiful land, and a range of small living spaces and communal buildings in mutual ownership.

3. Not all of us need to put in capital, but we do need energy and enthusiasm!

4. You DO need to sign up to our values which include an intention to follow the Quaker testimonies of Truth, Peace, Equality and Simplicity, and a commitment to training in communication skills. (We are not all Quakers, but we like these values.)

5. We intend to work together to grow our own food (herbs, vegetables, fruit, meat, milk, eggs, honey), repair the buildings and earn some communal income from running training courses and other events.

6. We welcome spiritual diversity, mindfulness, self-awareness, and a wide range of ages and backgrounds.
