We are a small community living in a beautiful walled garden and orchard set around a medieval tower in sunny Fife. We grow all our own fresh produce, manage our woods for fuel and wildlife and look after the walls and the tower. We are an environmental charity and offer opportunities for people to learn about organic gardening and low-impact, sustainable, communal living. We have a programme of events and courses and we host Wwoofers who volunteer We share food and eat together. We like to garden, play music, make stuff and generally have fun. For more information or an up-to-date course programme please write enclosing a stamped addressed envelope or email us.
