[ The land ]

Somewhere in the Somerset countryside.

We're not going to pin a specific field on a map yet. The plot isn't settled, and it feels honest to wait until it is. What we can say is where, in the broadest sense, and why here.

West Country

[ Somerset ]

We chose Somerset for the shape of its countryside and the pace of life inside it. A landscape of hedgerows, small fields, and old orchards, in a part of the West Country that has kept a working relationship with the land for a very long time. It is a place that rewards a particular kind of gardening: perennial, deep-rooted, patient.

[ A smallholding tradition ]

Somerset has always kept small farms and craft food producers close together. Cider makers, cheesemakers, market gardeners, herbalists. It's a community we want to be near and, in time, to be useful to.
