Bee Keeping
Our Honey is 100% Natural, unfiltered and raw. It is harvested and bottled on our Farm.
Estate Garden Team
The estate gardening team work on maintaining gardens and landscaping on the property. They take great pride in ensuring that the homes have neat gardens and that all communal areas and walkways are well maintained. From time to time they also fill in
Poultry Garden
Our chickens enjoy rotational grazing in four large fields, which are managed with biodynamic and permaculture principles. These forage fields are planted up specifically for their culinary and medicinal needs.
Crafts
We started out as a crafts workshop, and have now incorporated arts for those whose talents are better suited to it. We strive to see to every resident’s needs and capabilities, and also continually expose them to new skills to somewhat broaden their horizons.
The Farm Team
The Beef Herd forms part of one of the Workshops available to the residents. Interacting with the animals provides a therapy and enjoyment is experienced which contributes to their own healing process. Our current beef herd is 15 strong, and we aim to increase the herd to 28. The cattle manure, which is an excellent source of organic fertilizer, is used in the Food & Herb Garden Workshops which in turn supplies the Community with fresh produce.
Herb Garden
We grow both culinary and medicinal herbs - a variety of species. All our herbs are harvested and processed by hand, and then dried naturally in our workshop. We make our own compost for the garden from discarded plant material and never use poison or insecticide.
Camphill Farm Community was founded in 1978 and the land has been managed on organic and biodynamic principles since.
