The vision for the project was developed by the proprietors and sponsors, Andrew and Caroline Hunter.  The aim is to create a model environment through sustainable use of the land and buildings, adding value in the community, enhancing knowledge and understanding, promoting well-being, and leaving a legacy for the next generation.

Key elements of the project include:

• Supporting wildlife – new woodland, hedgerows, pond, and beehives
• Increasing ecological diversity across the 5 zones
• Creating sustainable food and beverage resources – including a new orchard and nut trees.
• Encouraging local food and healthy eating
• Providing a resource for horticultural therapy and skill sharing 
• Supporting sustainable livelihoods and rural enterprise
• Supporting a shift to low carbon buildings
• Using renewable energy and sustainable water systems
• Providing a hub for local activity, bringing skills, learning, information, resources and positive change into people’s lives
