CASE STUDIES

We are delighted to help eco-conscious individuals and land/property find each other! We sponsor community supported agriculture and have helped many people find their ideal sites for permaculture farms, rewilding and forestry projects and regularly host networking events to help people find each other and pool resources to make projects happen!

 

We have created several community supported agricultural farms and nature reserves ourselves and then found  the right land stewards to continue our projects, improving the land, increasing biodiversity, rewilding and planting 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 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 and vendors, 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 open to applications to join us with freehold plots inside our 36 acre edible forest project available from just £20,000. 

​

If you have an ecological land project that you think could be an asset to the rural enterprise business already established here, you could benefit from the permitted development rights of our agroecological farm whilst also retaining autonomy for your freehold plot. 

See below for individual plot descriptions! 

Please email to register your interest in the first instance. 

​

More info on Cwm Caredig...

Please note: These plots are rural enterprise plots and NOT BUILDING PLOTS! 

​

Cwm Caredig translates from Welsh to Kindness Valley, or as we like to call it: 'Vegan Valley'!  

 

With 36 acres of pastures, ancient bluebell forests, streams, riverside idylls, hillsides and a top field, this is a real garden of Eden! There are newly planted edible forest gardens and a central community permaculture farm with poly tunnel and composting system available to all who buy in or volunteer. The valley stretches up to meet 100s of acres of commonland - ancient Welsh rainforest and the source of our spring-fed stream.

 

With thousands of trees already planted, we particularly welcome rural enterprises that involve more tree planting, and are particularly keen to have a mushroom grower join our evolving co-operative farm where participants own their own freehold plots and are free to pursue their own rural enterprises. We can offer free business support to start-ups.

​

Communal areas include two plunge pools, a camping and campfire area (ideal for community gatherings with guitar and 'field to plate' feasting), access to an electric utility vehicle, solar charging points and free trees from our nursery! Minimum buy in of £20,000 is not worked out by acreage and vary from one to 2.5 acres. Discounts can be offered for multiple plot purchases. 

​

Plots A, Q and P will not be available to purchase until the willow plantation is more established and the preferred option would be to add them to community owned land in time.

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.

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.

3 bed, 2 bath Victorian House,
Llandysul SA44 4QP


SOLD
With the oil tank removed from the garden and an efficient electric combi boiler installed, this full eco-retrofit is now fossil-fuel free, with a vastly improved EPC rating and new double glazed sash windows. With beautiful mature planting, and a thriving wild bird population, the new owners were delighted to move into their fully refurbished home and be in easy commutable distance to Fferm Heulog, another project we supported in its creation and development

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.

​

Shelley and Paul held an exquisite handfasting here that will always make Pi Acres a very special place for us!
