Off Grid woodland Croft. Sustainable, inclusive.

We are an off grid woodland Croft with dairy goats, bees, poultry, veg, trees and biochar production, located in a regenerating clearfell site a few miles away from Oban on the West Coast of Scotland. 

We have community groups using the Croft for activities so notice is required in advance for visits but can always be accommodated. We work with home education groups, the local school and young people with additional needs to create a nurturing, practical learning environment that is inclusive to all.  

If you would like visits, how should people arrange their visit?
