Come and take a break away from the everyday and stay in our delightful Yurt. Situated in the picturesque cider orchard in front of the pond, the Yurt is the perfect place for a romantic, cosy, eco-escape from it all.

Staying in the Yurt is a great way to enjoy the full beauty of our organic farm and its wildlife. Close to the pond you will see frogs, fish, ducks, moorhens and our resident heron, and if you are really lucky the flash of a kingfisher. 

However, if you want to do more than simply enjoy the peace and tranquility, the surrounding area has plenty of attractions and things to do and visit.

Please contact us to check availability on 01594 860244 or EMAIL

Guest feedback

"From the minute we pulled onto the drive from the road our stay was perfect. We were greeted on the driveway by a group of wild boar ( dream come true) who were taking advantage of the fallen fruit. After slowly passing by we pulled into the parking bay for the yurt (clearly marked) and walked towards the yurt......what can I say other than WOW the yurt was very comfortably furnished ( handmade king-size bed, table and chairs, log burning fire and two other chairs ) then we looked at the kitchen area and found it more than adequately stocked with everything we needed (utensils,pots and pans, cups and glasses plus a 2 ring gas hob).

"we simply loved the place and the yurt, it was one of the most amazing and peaceful places we have ever been in England. We shall definitely come again next Summer"

  • Applied Agroecology Workshop

    - A day with Jairo Restrepo - a one day workshop on the 24th July 2015

    Jairo Restrepo is a passionate educator and activist in the field of sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty. He campaigns for a return of self determination, knowledge and autonomy to the farmer away from the power of agribusiness. He offers education, agronomy and consultancy around the world. His background is in Latin America and recently he has been touring in Europe and Australia. Jairo is consultant to the UN, Unesco, and the International Labour Organisation.

    Jairo’s teaching style is practical. He offers tools and inspiration for farmers, smallholders and activists. An agronomist with a rebellious character, he has a passionate belief in people power, in local rural culture, food sovereignty, and the desire to transmit the indigenous knowledge and experience gathered from over 20 years work across all continents. 

    We will cover a brief history of Jairo’s work, and where this has taken him. After lunch we will walk around the farm orchards to give Jairo an opportunity to demonstrate various agroecological approaches and low cost technologies such as mineral brews, wild microbes, biofertilisers, and compost tea.

    Jairo Restrepo has extensive experience of implementing these techniques at different scales through his teaching work and consultation. These Agroecological technologies are increasingly recognised as holding the key to the future of farming and climate change, and so we are excited to be able to offer his expert knowledge at Ragmans.

    "this guy is a genius and a tour de force of the first order!" Darren Doherty

    Who should attend:
    Farmers and independent small-scale growers, food producers, food retailers, campaigners for food sovereignty and students.

    Jairo will also be teaching a one day course on chromatography on Sat 25th July, and a five day course - An introduction to Regenerative Agriculture 18-22 July.

    Please note: this course will be delivered in Spanish with a translator. This is the first time that Jairo has taught in England. We would advise that you book onto the course early!
