CASE STUDIES
We are involved in lots of incentives ranging from hosting events to online campaigning, to helping eco-conscious individuals and land/property find each other, creating community supported farms and helping advise people and organisations on how to lower their carbon footprints and become more planet and wildlife friendly.
We sponsor community supported agriculture and have helped many people find their ideal sites for permaculture farms, rewilding and forestry projects. We regularly host networking events to help people find each other, pool resources to make projects happen. Our goal is to create communities that grow together, in all senses!
So far, we have created several eco-conscious land and property projects including community supported agricultural farms and nature reserves and then found the right land stewards and new owners to continue our projects. We have always screened our land project successors to make sure they share our desire to improve the land, increase biodiversity, rewild and plant trees.
We have planted thousands of trees so far and plan to continue planting thousands more with our current and future projects. Below are just a handful of case studies, but we have helped facilitate, create and grow many more! It might be that we can help support your project too.
We want to see as many self-sustainable eco projects and permaculture farms get started and flourish and are here to support anyone wishing to plant and grow. If you have any queries please email us at info@edenkind.org
We screen all our applicants, so please fill out one of our application forms if you have a serious interest in joining our growing community of growers!
Forest Farm @ Cwm Caredig
Our current flagship project Cwm Caredig is looking for new land stewards to take over managing our giant edible farm and continue growing food to share with the community.
Based near Carmarthen in Wales, we have 36 acres that include ancient bluebell woods, spring fed streams, a central permaculture farm and thousands of newly planted edible forest saplings, most of which have made it past those crucial first two years and now sit taller than the grasses.
With a carbon zero roundwood barn built by award winning Ty Pren and set up to be fully off-grid and self-sustaining, our flagship agro-ecological farm is a real garden of Eden creating food sovereignty for future generations.
Please email to register your interest in the first instance, or complete a tribe seeking form!
VegOut West Festival
We are now in our third year of helping the founder co-host this wonderful family friendly vegan festival. At VegOut West 2024 and 2025, Shelley managed the volunteer team alongside MCing the music tent, managing the musicians backstage and handling front of house, both online and at the event. Shelley's epic poster making skills and social media input helped make this year's festival a truly wonderful event enjoyed by the hundreds of people that attended.
Paul and Shelley also performed live on stage with both slam poetry and live music, and our Edenkind volunteers all joined us in making the festival run smoothly. If you would like to join the volunteer team for VegOut West 2026, please complete the form under application forms on the link below.
Micro-farm with Strawbale Barn
New Stewards Found!
Fferm Heulog is a 0.7 acre roadside plot in Capel Cynon. When we found it, brambles covered over 80% of the land, but like a prince to the rescue, we hacked away at the thorns and painstakingly dug up roots to reclaim the space and create a permaculture farm and mini nature reserve.
There was some drama here with our first (tin) barn being stolen and the adjoining land owner being very unhappy about our improving the track but we resolved all issues and were able to pass on stewardship to a wonderful couple keen to grow their own organic food and protect the natural flora and fauna that regularly visit including a white barn owl and bats and lots more.

New Steward Found!
The Zen Garden, Exeter EX1
With the expert assistance of Martin Armstrong, Exeter City Council Planning granted full permission for a landscaped garden with a gazebo and pergola so that this unused piece of land in the heart of the city could become a quiet place for contemplation and meditation amongst flowers and nature!
It took a while to get there, but new owner Elizabeth is delighted to steward this lovely garden in a way that increases biodiversity and will attract more pollinators like bees.
Pi Acres
New Steward Found!
This idyllic countryside retreat In Devon had been left to rewild for so many years that a lot of work was required to regain access in. After clearing brambles and controlling the invasion of Himalayan Balsam, more native plants like primroses, bluebells, snowdrops and crocuses returned once more. With lots of drainage work undertaken to overcome a boggy entrance, and be able to drive a campervan in, Pi Acres became a wildlife sanctuary perfect for regeneration and meditation with its new custodian commiting to continue increasing biodiversity and caring for this very special site that adjoins a 57 hectare nature reserve.
