Who are we?

An emerging community of landworkers, farmers, crafters, natural builders, foresters, campaigners, educators and activists dedicated to connecting people to land and sea.

We are part of a global network of peasants who are deeply committed to the communities we serve and the crafts we tend.

We believe that connection builds peace & diversity creates resilience.

The impetus:

The loss of biodiversity, climate change and rising inequality stem from the rising control of capitalism over our daily lives. Disconnection from nature threatens our livelihoods, ecosystems and communities.

There is also a fundamental inequality in access to the countryside. In the UK black and brown people are 60% less likely to be able to access green spaces and natural environments than their white counterparts.

People from marginalised communities and those from less privileged socio-economic backgrounds also face similar issues.

A part of the solution is to empower people to live, raise children, earn their livelihoods and find meaning in ways that are less dependent on markets and more dependent on the land and healthy relationship with each other. We seek to create more access to employment opportunities for land based employment by a wider range of the population.

We need to explore a new way of living - drawing inspiration from peasant and indigenous ways of living and anarcho-socialist ideals of community-based autonomy and mutual aid.

"We have the opportunity to rebuild a better system in a design so much better than before.

We have the foresight now to bring back nature as part of a just and equitable society, in a new pattern, based on the old knowledge and skills of our ancestors, but more exciting than ever before in history."
