Our family business operates a unique glamping site on our third-generation farm, offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience in the countryside. The driving force behind setting up this venture was the need to diversify our income and sustain the farm, as traditional farming alone was no longer sufficient.

In late 2019, I (Joanne) made the decision to leave my teaching career to support the farm and initiate the glamping project. With farming facing financial challenges, taking out a loan was not feasible, so we relied on resourcefulness to repurpose materials from the farm and with a passion for sustainable tourism we have transformed traditional farming operations into an award winning glamping site.  

With only £1,000 in hand, our tourism journey began, with the entire family contributing to the business's success. From Nana's homemade cakes to Farmer Andy's insights into farm life and young George's egg sales, it has truly been a collective effort. We take pride in crafting our own unique shepherd huts and upcycling materials from the farm, ensuring that each unit has a unique and compelling story behind it. Our mission is to provide guests with a memorable and sustainable glamping experience while preserving the heritage and spirit of our family farm.
