Situated in the picturesque cider orchard the Yurt overlooks the pond area and across the valley, stretching down to the river Wye. 

There is a large decking area, complete with seating. A separate kitchen with basic camping stove for boiling your kettle or cooking up your breakfast. Adjacent to the decking is a fire pit equipped with Kotlich cooking facilities (tripod and cooking pot) to fit and cook over an open fire.

You are welcome to bring a BBQ and charcoal if you do not wish to try cooking on the fire pit. 

There is a fridge nearby to store your groceries in and a lovely sink and washing up area in the Yurt kitchen. There is also a stand pipe for fresh water next to the Yurt. Tea towels and complimenary cleaning items are supplied.

Enjoy showering under the stars with your own private enclosed rustic outdoor shower adjacent to the kicthen, and a compost loo just above the fire pit. Making the Yurt area completely self contained.

There is free wi-fi access around the farm yard but not in the Yurt.

The farm has patchy mobile phone coverage and it varies by network provider. So why not leave your phone in the car and get away from it all!

"This was our first glamping experience and it was absolutely fantastic! We really enjoyed the tranquil environment, cooking on the stove and relaxing by the log burner! It was the perfect place to get engaged. Thank you for a lovely time"

"Such a beautiful location, so peaceful by the pond. We were really happy when three frogs came and joined us by the fire one evening"

      

 

 

  • Weekend Practical Biofertiliser & Fermenting Course

    with Juanfran Lopez at Ragmans Lane Farm 

    5-6th March 2022

    A chance to learn how to regenerate farm and garden systems using home produced Biofertiliser, Native micro organisms, Aerobic and Anaerobic compost teas.

    The weekend will be practically orientated and there will be a chance to discuss and learn principles, objectives and strategies of Regenerative Agriculture.

    Over the course of the weekend we will be collecting native microbes to make cheap but effective natural fertilisers and tonics for the plant and soil.

    The course will cover:-

    * understanding holistic system health

    * microbes, ferments and fertilisers

    * plant health and mineral brews

    * hydrolates, seed coating and lactobacillus

    By the end of the weekend you will have the practical knowledge to make your own preparations at home, and a ‘starter kit’ of resources to take home with you including a fresh and mature batch of native microbes and biofertiliser for diluted use.

    "Good mix between technical and practical, science and simple!"

    Juanfran Lopez has studied with the Columbian Jairo Restrepo, one of the leading teachers of microbial preparations for healthy biological systems. Juanfran has also travelled through South America, Africa and Spain specializing in regenerative agriculture, learning and teaching as he travels. He was based at Ragmans researching and running trials on our orchards and garden. He is now studying for a PhD at Madrid University.
