We're loving our summer homegrown and local meals!

Over the last 3 years, we're strived to make meaningful changes to our diet to break our reliance on unethically produced food and supermarkets. We started small by beginning to buy organic foodstuffs in bulk and supporting local farmers who we trusted, and then we looked at what we could produce ourselves, and the ball kept rolling! Here we are today! Small, meaningful changes for a big, long-term impact.

• Beef patties
• Homegrown fresh salad with added nasturtium and borage flowers.
• Homegrown cucumbers
• Homegrown and homemade bread & butter pickles
• Homemade mayonnaise using our own eggs and rapeseed oil.
• Burger buns made with wheat grains, freshly milled that morning.
• gifted by a friend

Ryde seafront looking absolutely magical 🏖

If you're thinking of planning a car-free holiday, Ryde has some great foot passenger-only options with the Wightlink Portsmouth-Ryde catamaran, or the Hovertravel Southsea-Ryde hovercraft.

Once you're island-side, we're just 7 minutes by taxi, or 19 minutes on the bus!

Not a very exciting looking post but it's exciting to us!

Fully restocked with the lovely Fill Refill eco-friendly home cleaning supplies.
Not only does it smell GREAT, it's kind on sensitive skin and doesn't put damaging chemicals into the water and ground.

These 20L containers will keep us going for a good long while! 🤩

Are you a smallholder, or an aspiring one? Just love animals?

We are halfway through Year 2 of our long-term rejuvenation plan for Carters Stables, which has been in the family for about 40 years 🌿
With an ethos of subsistence, communal-sufficiency and enjoying all of life's little moments, we're having a lot of fun 🌱
And we love sharing what we're doing - the fun, the chaos and of course, the animals! 🐐
Come and soak in the sunshine at the smallholding and take a peek (or more!) at all our projects 🌼

⭐️"It's a sweet little place and compared to other properties in the area had a unique charm that will stay in our heart" ⭐️

WOW!
Cheryl's review of the Lodge meant to much to read! We've always believed holidays should be special and wanted our Lodge to reflect that. It's always so good to hear our guests feel that when they stay!

Other highlights from Cheryl's review....
⭐️Excellent value
⭐️ Private enough but also close enough to feel like you're an extended part of the community Made to feel like old friends from the moment we arrived. (Might have cried reading that! That's exactly how welcomed we want our guests to feel!)
⭐️ Easy to get to from the ferry
⭐️ Comprehensive guide book with lots of recommendations
⭐️ Well stocked kitchen
⭐️ Eco-friendly special touches to the property
⭐️ Nice-smelling, cosy bed linens

Love animals? Always wanted to keep goats/pigs/chickens/ducks/cows?
Wannabe smallholder? 🐄🐖🐓🐐

Come and get up close and personal with a stay on our farm! We love introducing guests to our animals, and sharing the absolute joy of being around animals.

And if you've always wanted to start a smallholding, or even just have a few chickens but don't know where to start, we love sharing our knowledge! 🤩

We've left the lodge in good hands and travelled to wonderful Somerset to celebrate Christy's sister's upcoming wedding!

Three guesses where we are? 😉
