Before The Farm was The Farm, this patch of land had already lived a few lives. And if local rumours were anything to go by, it could have had a very different one again.😬
When Tom and Emma bought the property in 2014, they imagined something much bigger. A working farm where people could eat, learn, wander, get their hands a little dirty and understand more about the land, farming and the food we grow.
Architect Dominic Finlay Jones helped give that vision its physical form.
Rather than wiping the slate clean, they worked with what was already here. The old farmhouse, flower shed and bales stayed. Materials were reused. Buildings were kept simple and honest, shaped around the land, the climate and the workings of the farm.
By 2015, The Farm had opened its gates.
More than a decade later, plenty has grown and changed. But that early thinking is still everywhere you look. Or, perhaps more importantly, in all the things you barely notice.✨
