An established site where care farming has been in place for 12 years.

This enterprise has circumnavigated the barriers to introducing innovative local social aspects on their farm tailored to, and tied to, their core business and holistic values.

The intention was to use the farm as an educational and therapeutic space where outdoor activities could be adapted to suit the individual.

A busy croft growing fruit and veg changed its business model to supply local people, supported by local volunteers who want to help make this work - social buzz, active outdoor work, shared purpose.

This is a site that offers services in the context of a croft. It works, and is a financially viable model. Lots of experience went into making it workable.
