About us

42 Acres is a regenerative estate, nature reserve & wellbeing retreat centre. We’re exploring ways to take care of, and live in conversation with, our sacred world. Our vision is to live in harmony with nature, self and others. We work with nature not against it. We grow, forage and wild-tend foods to create wholesome, nutrient-dense food. As we restore health in our earth, we restore the worlds within ourselves.

Something else, A tour

Our ‘Soil-to-Gut’ Food Philosophy reflects our belief that as we restore microbiomes in our soils, we restore microbiomes in our guts. In this way, our land and food practices create a bridge between personal and planetary health.

During the Food Trail, we are offering a range of free and charged-for activities:
– The Happy Pear Revitalising Plant-Powered Retreat (Fri 25 - Sun 27 July – charged)
– Founders Tour (Fri 18 July – free)
– Foundations of Foraging (charged)
– Slow Sunday: fire cooked forest feast with wild swimming and wood-fired sauna (charged)

Book via the website: www.42acres.com/retreats-and-events

Visitors are also welcome to explore our 173 acres of wild spaces – ancient woodland, rewilded meadows, a seven-acre lake, and our pioneering nature restoration projects.
