The compost is LIMITED STOCK and available from Friday 24th April to Friday May 22nd. Only 500 “blue bags” of 15kg available.

The success of cooking food over wood and charcoal depends on the fuel. We use hardwood firewood mini-logs, sustainably sources from our site, then seasoned and air dried for an excellent bed of embers. British beech/oak/ash. Each wood has a different heat and smoke profile so we make sure each bag is a good mix. Sold in 20kg onion net bags, ideal for storage.

A natural fertiliser, and magical for flowers, vegetables, and herbaceous plans. A very light sprinkling of good hardwood ash is all that’s needed to return potash to the soil. Potash is a major source of potassium which supports root growth and fruit-bearing.

For indoor or outdoor use, natural hewn logs bring a rustic and authentic look to surroundings. Can be used as garden sitting furniture or coffee/ side tables indoors.

Long summer evenings can be spent as a family in Gallivanters. Adults can learn to wood whittle with Giuseppe, our expert Italian wood carver, while children have supervised play in the Gallivanter Meadow, accompanied by goats and ponies. It all starts with simple wood whittling, then moving to more advanced carving, making spoons and stools.

All welcome from 2 - 6 years. Children and adults stay and play in our Gallivanters Grove. You can expect forest school experiences such as nature crafts, messy play, mud kitchen, bug hunts, story time, woodland games and much more! We are also lucky enough to include visits from our ponies, dogs, goats and chickens.

Good fun, practical learning and hard work in the fresh air for home-schoolers, temporary school non-attenders, and college deferrals who seek a day in the fresh outdoors, some physical exercise, learning to look after animals, and building nature stations – with riding included.
The opportunity to get early job experience and references, or work for equine and non-equine pony club Badges.
The day will be lightly supervised by staff in the safe walled space of Gallivanters and the riding school.

Exploring the world of the horse for more insights on how we ourselves can be happier and healthier.
This will be a cheerful and light-hearted study group on how the horse – its fabulous talents for patience, attachment, humour (yes!), social skills, all round sensory intelligence and being happy in the “here and now” can inform our own lives.
The hour will consist of horse stories, choosing and making-a-friend of one of the stables’ occupants, horse-leading, observation and cups of tea to discuss

We all used to spend most of our life with them and we are always drawn to horses and animals.
