The Lorax Patch is 5 acres of farmland, in Somerset, on the outskirts of Wells.

 

We take a slightly unconventional approach; as we do not want the highest output from the land, nor are we looking for the maximum financial gain.

​

We're temporary custodians of this little patch of the planet, and feel a responsibility to treat it with love; aiming to leave it in a better condition than we found it.

​

So our farming is not intense. We have some animals, and we grow some crops. In producing this food, we take pride in farming to an organic standard and ensuring the carbon footprint is extremely low. The farm's produce is playing a small but important part - pushing out supermarket produce that is grown to a lower environmental standard and with a high carbon footprint.

​

In 2018 we started offering camping at the Lorax Patch. We focus on providing the type of camping experience that we search for when we're on a trip. We're not interested in jamming in the maximum number of pitches; we want each group to have space. Camp fires are positively encouraged.
This is a rustic, wild camping experience. There are no showers, and toilets are composting. But this happens to attract the very finest of campers!
