The Mushroom Shed is a short walk across the farm yard from the Bunkhouse.

The Mushroom Shed has a lovely green oak frame at the front and the rest of the building is built from sustainable panels and insulated with Warmcel, recycled newspaper cellulose fibre.

The building has a living roof which has been planted with Sedums which can provide important microclimates for insects, bird life and other even rare species. They also protect and shade the roof from harmful UV light, which slows down erosion and increases the life of the roof. Green roofs benefit the environment not only as a carbon sink, but actively encouraging the wildlife and biodiversity.

At the front of the Mushroom Shed is a large covered veranda, windows at the back look out over the orchards.

Access to the orchard is possible at certain times of the year.

 

 

 

 

  • Grow Your Own Firewood Day Course

    27th November 2022 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    10.30am to 4.30pm

    Everything you need to know about growing your own willow firewood.

    Based on our experience of growing and using our own firewood here at Ragmans Lane Farm, we will show you our plantations and systems and discuss how they can be transposed into your situation.

    The emphasis of this day will be on the practicalities. Over the day we will cover site selection, suitable willow varieties, planting, pest control, harvesting, storage and types of stove.

    By the end of the course each participant will be able to design, establish and harvest their own 5 year rotation Firewood Growing System.

    Participants will receive handouts with instructions and diagrams to take home.

    Teas, coffee and biscuits will be provided, plus hot soup and roll for lunch.

    Cost £75
