The Start of Our Smallholding Adventure
About East Lowfields Farm
We moved to the farm in Sept 2024, once we made the house habitable. It has 20 acres of land and several dilapidated farm buildings but all we see is lots and lots of potential.

We moved to the farm in Sept 2024, once we made the house habitable. It has 20 acres of land and several dilapidated farm buildings but all we see is lots and lots of potential. We started with 4 fields with very few trees and hedges, a large field next to the River Greta and a steep bank with patches of trees.

20 acres is a huge space, but in farming terms, it really isn't much. We are trying to establish our farm using Regenerative principles, meaning we will try to mimic nature to improve the soil and give plants and animals the perfect habitat to thrive. We want to use the animals to improve the land, whilst giving the animals a wonderful place to live. If we get things right, we hope to make a living from our little farm.
Loving where we are
Loving where we are
Our adventure at East Lowfields is centred on our family and all we want to do is to enjoy what we do. We are not farmers and have actually have full time jobs, often sitting at a laptop. Our time away from work is precious and is focused on health, wellbeing and really loving the beautiful countryside around us. Our instagram feed is a good way to see what life is like for us at the farm.
