Photography & phone
Composition, light and the farm at golden hour. Bring any camera, or just your phone.
HomeExperiences
Make something with your hands
A rotating calendar of hands-on days, led by us and by makers we invite. Small groups, all materials included, and everything you make is yours to take home.
Through a lens
Birding & bird photography
The farm draws dozens of species through the year. Learn to find them, watch quietly, and photograph them well.
Macro & the insect world
Get close. A macro day on the small lives of the farm, and what they tell you about the soil.
Sun, leaves & ink
Cyanotype sun-prints
Lay farm leaves on treated paper and let the sun print them deep blue.
Flower printing
Hammer and press fresh flowers straight onto cloth and paper, and keep their colour.
Seasonal flower & plant dyeing
Dye cloth with marigold, indigo and whatever the season is giving.
Botanical diary
Press real leaves and petals and build a bound diary of the farm, page by page.
Hands & tools
Painting
Landscape and botanical painting, out in the field or under a tree.
Woodworking & whittling
Carve a spoon or a small thing from local wood, with real tools and no hurry.
Origami & paper
A quiet afternoon of folding, easy for children and calming for everyone.
From the kitchen
Bread at the fire
Mix, prove and bake fresh bread over the wood fire, and eat it warm.
Soap making
Cold-process soap with farm herbs and our own wood-pressed oils.
Jam & pickle making
Cook a small batch of the season with us, and take a jar of it home.
Tell us what your group is curious about and we set a date. Most workshops run a half-day, between meals.
What you'll photograph
Real subjects, a few steps from your door.
Every one of these was shot here on the farm: the birds, insects and flowers you can photograph on a birding, macro or botanical day.
