Everything you need to know to become a Founding Member of My Little Farm and secure your stake in the land, the harvest, and the future. Begin with our inaugural farm in Sussex and help seed a network of regenerative, member-owned farms across the UK.
Secure your space in the Sussex 1,000 acre vision, and enjoy your first year of food for free.
A simple exchange: you help secure the land now, and the land feeds you first.
Founding Membership is how we secure farmland in trust and turn it into abundant, member-owned community farms.
We’re starting here in Sussex, with a clear vision to bring 1,000 acres into the movement to feed 1,000 founding families. We'll then scale that model into a national grid of community-owned smallholdings.
When you reserve your space now, your joining commitment is credited in full to your first year of food in 2026.
In other words: secure your Founding Membership space today, and My Little Farm begins feeding your household — week by week — for free.
FROM THE CREATORS OF MY LITTLE FARM
Dear Friend,
A few years ago, we set out to answer a simple question:
What would it look like if families could truly own their food system?
Not just buy from it — own it.
We began with a smallholding in Sussex and a community of people who believed in the same thing we did: that land should be held for food, for nature, and for future generations — not traded as a commodity or drained for short-term gain. Together, we proved the model works. We’ve grown real food using regenerative practices, welcomed members into the life of the farm, and built a foundation that is already feeding families each week.
But from the start, the pilot was never the destination.
It was simply the proof.
Now we’re ready for the first major step at scale: securing 1,000 acres in Sussex.
This isn’t a distant dream or a vague ambition. It’s a specific, measurable objective that will create the first true My Little Farm hub — a full ecosystem of farmland, farmers, animals, gardens, wild spaces and member life — capable of feeding 1,000 families every week through a share of the harvest.
It’s the moment where My Little Farm stops being “a farm you support”
and becomes a farm you own.
We invite you to join us. Not just as a supporter, but as a co-owner and co-creator of a better future.
With warmth and determination,
Laure & Keivor
Our Vision
A member-owned mosaic of thriving little farms.
Imagine a future where once barren mono-crop fields are reclaimed by local communities and transformed into thriving, abundant little farms.
Picture vibrant patches of diverse crops, pasture-raised animals, and forest gardens, all working in harmony with nature. These farms are more than just sources of food, they are hubs of community connection, where families come together to grow, harvest, and share in the bounty of the land. This is a future where the land is cared for by the people, providing regenerative, nutrient-dense food and restoring ecosystems for generations to come.
Our Mission
Reconnect people with the land. Produce nutrient-dense food. Regenerate the earth.
Our mission is straightforward yet impactful: to produce the most nutrient-dense foods using the highest standards of natural farming methods. We’re making smallholding ownership accessible to those who see the need for food sovereignty, while also creating life-changing opportunities for first-generation farmers. Join us in cultivating independence, prosperity, and a future where every farmer thrives and every community benefits.
Looking Ahead to 2030
The Sussex 1,000-Acre Blueprint
By 2030, our flagship 1,000-acre farm in Sussex will be fully operational, feeding over a thousand families, hosting vibrant seasonal gatherings, and showcasing how regenerative, member-owned farming transforms communities.
We will have completed the blueprint for our first Sovereign Village and secured the resources, team, permissions to begin construction. Over time, our network will expand beyond Sussex, sharing abundance with communities throughout the UK.
Every Founding Member fuels the growth of My Little Farm. Your contribution is more than a one-time
investment, it’s the seed that allows us to expand farming enterprises, protect more land, and bring nutrient-rich food to more people. Here’s where your support goes:
Regenerative Food Systems
We prioritise methods that restore soil, increase nutrient density, and improve flavour, without synthetic chemicals or pharmaceuticals. Heritage breeds, seasonal crops, and diverse planting create a system that nourishes our members and regenerates the earth year after year.
✓ Impact so far
We manage over an acre of market gardens along with field-scale potato production. Our pigs thrive in our woodlands, while our other livestock graze on 150 acres of pasture using rotational conservation methods.
What’s next: Expanding our market gardens and field-scale production while increasing the size of our flocks and herds.
Farm Infrastructure
Great food needs great infrastructure. Polytunnels extend the season, barns and a covered wash-and-pack line keep produce clean and moving, and cold storage protects flavour and nutrition. Smart fencing, mobile shelters and reliable water lines make daily rotations easier and healthier for the land, animals and people.
✓ Impact so far
First polytunnel built; poultry housing established; pig arcs installed; rotational fencing systems installed; livestock water systems upgraded.
What’s next: Cold storage installation, expansion of wash-&-pack capacity, and a three additional polytunnels to increase winter resilience.
Biodiversity & Beauty
Abundance starts with ecology. We’re shaping the farm as a patchwork of hedgerows, ponds, wildflower meadows and forest-garden plantings so birds, insects and soil life can flourish. These habitats cool wind, slow water, feed pollinators and bring the place to life.
✓ Impact so far
Forest garden maturing; dozens of habitat zones added; 5,000+ native trees planted; 15 beehives thriving; nature & duck ponds established with marginal planting.
What’s next: Expand the forest garden, add two more ponds, and complete wildlife corridors to boost beneficials and cut pest pressure.
Team & Operations
Behind every harvest is a well-run operation. Your contribution funds fair pay, training, and the systems that keep the farm moving. We invest in cross-training so our growers and livestock farmers can back each other up, and use simple digital tools to coordinate tasks, track inputs, and improve week by week.
✓ Impact so far
Core team expanded to 10, all paid above the Real Living Wage with cross-training across vegetable production, livestock management, and order fulfilment.
What’s next: Hire a Fulfilment Lead to streamline our packing and delivery systems, while also developing a formal apprenticeship program for new farmers joining our team.
Distribution Systems
Getting food from field to family requires efficient systems. Your contribution supports the entire process: pack-house workflows, eco-friendly packaging, clear labelling, and user-friendly online ordering that coordinates with harvest schedules. We deliver nationally through courier partners, while offering collection options to keep costs reasonable.
✓ Impact so far
National delivery launched; 50+ households served weekly and growing; insulated wool-liners adopted; pickup hub testing; early route optimisation to cut miles per box.
What’s next: Increase delivery capacity, implement reusable packaging, monitor temperature for perishables, and use delivery insights to optimise crop planning for better freshness and less waste.
Land & Asset Protection
We're building a multi-generational legacy. This involves protecting farmland for members through member-controlled trusts, asset-locks, and stewardship rules that place ecological health and community food sovereignty above resale value.
✓ Impact so far
15 acres secured in Sussex for member use; negotiations in place for ~205 neighbouring acres, with acquisitions phased to Founding Membership milestones.
What’s next: Acquire adjacent land as membership grows, secure legal protections through asset-locks and conservation covenants, release yearly stewardship reports, and establish a repair fund for long-term infrastructure maintenance to ensure generational land productivity.
Our Community Partner
Crops Not Shops - growing food, growing community.
Crops Not Shops is a grassroots movement of growers and volunteers making sure good food and practical knowledge reach everyone; not just those who can afford it. With your support, we turn farm abundance into nourishment, skills, and belonging that ripple far beyond the farm gate.
As a Founding Member, you help weave this partnership into the heart of our farm — providing the tools, spaces, and training that allow community to flourish. Not every element appears overnight, but every new member strengthens the roots so the work can scale and stay grounded.
Community Food Access
The 20% principle: Every week, a minimum of 20% of our harvest is set aside for Crops Not Shops. When you join, you help guarantee that one in five boxes goes freely, with dignity, to families who need it most.
Why it matters: Food sovereignty isn’t just about what you can buy, it’s about what every family can depend on. Our commitment ensures clean, nutrient-dense food is shared consistently, even when yields fluctuate.
Impact (near-term target): At East Sussex maturity, that’s roughly 200 full boxes per week, packed to the same standard as member shares (seasonal veg and fruit, pasture-raised eggs and meat, dairy, and honey).
Long-term vision: As the network grows, the 20% principle scales, aiming to reach 20,000 families nationwide through regenerative, community-rooted farms.
Education & Skills
Why it matters: Sovereignty is learned by doing. When people know how to grow, cook, preserve, and organise, they become resilient, and communities thrive.
Commitment: We run year-round programmes open to members, schools, and referred learners. Sessions blend hands-on fieldwork with practical learning. Sliding-scale places and bursaries mean cost is never a barrier.
Impact (near-term target): Deliver 24 skill-days/year (≈2/month) and 4 seasonal intensives across soil care, cooking & preservation, animal husbandry basics, and co-operative leadership.
Long-term vision: A replicable “Farm School” model with train-the-trainer pathways, youth programmes, and accredited routes for first-generation farmers - so each site multiplies skills locally.
Social Outreach & Wellbeing
Why it matters: Working side-by-side on the land reduces isolation, restores confidence, and builds purpose. Simple acts such as sowing seeds, harvesting together and sharing food reconnect us with each other and the earth.
Commitment: Weekly community days and supported volunteering, designed for mixed abilities and life situations. Clear roles, pastoral support, and a warm welcome ensure everyone can contribute.
Impact (near-term target): 12 community days/year and weekly volunteer sessions (Mar–Oct), supported through structured, farm-based activities.
Long-term vision: Create a pathway where anyone can join in, feel supported, and grow. Over time this means regular wellbeing programmes, links with healthcare providers, opportunities to mentor others and meaningful paid roles on the farm.

A Blueprint For An Ancient Future
Sussex: the vision beyond the farm.
Our flagship in Sussex is more than a productive farm — it’s a seed for a Sovereign Village that could, over time, grow into a small village rooted in food, ecology, and community. We keep housing costs down by removing
speculation on land and building with transparency, so the place stays attainable for the people who live and work here.
Place-first design
Low-impact homes nestled into existing landscape character — hedgerows, orchards, and woodland edges shape layouts and materials.
Food at the centre
Farms, gardens, and shared kitchens anchor daily life. Food sovereignty and seasonal abundance are built into the plan.
Member pathways
Founding Members receive priority consideration for hamlet homes and stays, aligning residency with stewardship.
We grow cautiously and transparently, in dialogue with neighbours and planners. Any homes emerge only as the farm, ecology,
and community can support them — keeping the soul of Sussex intact.
Sovereign Village
Homes without speculation, delivered in phases.
Land is held in trust; homes are delivered at cost-plus-transparency; long-term stewardship is funded by simple service charges.
The outcome: attainable homes tied to real food, meaningful work, and long-lived community — not financial churn.
Land held in trust
Ground leases protect agricultural use, biodiversity corridors and inter-generational affordability.
Transparent delivery
Audited cost books, local trades where possible, fabric-first energy standards and repairable systems.
Stewardship model
Light service charges fund landscape care, footpaths, commons, learning spaces, and shared kit.
Phased pathway (illustrative, subject to planning)
Phase 1 — Hamlets: 20–40 dwellings clustered around the farm hub, tied to stewardship & employment.
Phase 2 — Hamlet+: Expand to ~60–120 dwellings with commons, paths, and small workshops.
Phase 3 — Village scale: Only as ecology & infrastructure allow; services sized to landscape carrying capacity.
Each phase proceeds only with local support, ecological headroom, and demonstrated farm resilience.
Local impact (Sussex)
Jobs & training: first-generation farmers, craft trades, hospitality, land care.
Biodiversity: hedgerows, ponds, wet meadows, and woodland management planned in from day one.
Mobility: paths first, cars last — shared EVs, cycle links, and clustered parking.
Access: ring-fenced weekly food via Crops Not Shops; inclusive pricing for learning programmes.
i
Guiding principle: keep land out of speculation so homes remain attainable. Value accrues in food security, landscape health,
and community life — not in flipping plots.
