Smallholding in mid Wales for sale. Two miles from our farm; our original holding is for sale. 5 bed 16th century farmhouse plus 5 acres.

We’re looking to buy a smallholding or land with (or likely to get) planning permission in Wales. We’ve been WWOOFers and communal hosts and are now looking to settle on our own patch, so we’d especially welcome land that’s been cared for. Location and size flexible. email pensca@gmail.com 

Herbalist wanted – help in gardens, processing and planning, with a view to you taking on this small enterprise as your own, as a farm partnership. We need herbal extracts, wool dyeing and teaching. There is also the opportunity to set up your own practice. Contact zoe@trillfarm.co.uk
