Sloe berries, the fruit of the blackthorn tree, are a beloved hedgerow ally. Long associated with protection and divination in folkloric traditions, blackthorn wood is often used for crafting wands and staffs. The sloe berries themselves hold a gentler energy, said to guide and support deep spiritual work...Be careful when harvesting them though - they're really spikey!

Join us to explore the wonders of seasonal wild berries, mushrooms, herbs and trees that arrive at this time and are perfectly suited to support us throughout the winter months:

Recently spotted feathered friends at 42! As the land continues to heal, we’ve become a hot spot for biodiversity, and bird populations are thriving.

We’re looking for local volunteers who’d be interested in helping us start and maintain a bird list for 42. Whether you’re an experienced birder or keen to become a citizen scientist, your contributions can help us identify and support birdlife on this land, and contribute to global databases supporting the case for nature.

If you’d like to get involved or find out more, send us a message or comment below.

PS, we're also breeding white storks with the aim of creating a free-flying colony, as part of our species re-introduction work.

“I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” This week at 42 Acres: We have been marveling at the auburn and golden trees that grace the land - and their leaves that are forming glowing, crunchy carpets underfoot.

On Tuesday some of our team had the pleasure of meeting Tom, who works on the conservation team on ‘s estate. We had a wonderful time learning about their four beaver colonies and understanding how their landscape has changed since the beavers have taken up residence!

As we enter the weekend, we are extending our gratitude to every guest who visits us here at 42 Acres, breathing life into the land, enjoying all it has to offer, and reminding us why we do what we do.

Borlotti beans 🫘 These small, speckled beauties enrich both the land and the table. They pull nitrogen from the air and return it to the soil, reminding us that nourishment flows in cycles. What we tend also tends to us.

Borlottis also support us to move towards self-sufficiency in protein. This year, our friend, Aya of is fermenting our harvest into truly local miso, in a gift economy relationship that will return some of these beans to our kitchen in a whole new form.

Borlotti beans have become a foundation of our rhythm of growing: they feed the soil, they feed us, and they root us more deeply in the cycle of giving and receiving.

“The fruit of your own hard work is the sweetest.” This week at 42 Acres: After the success of our last apple pressing, we decided to do it all over again! The team has picked another 300kg of our apples to make into juice - the results of the last batch scored 10/10!

The pace has picked back up here. We have welcomed four retreats, as well as self-catered guests at the weekend, who enjoyed a number of our enriching add-on experiences, including Restorative Yin Yoga, Wood-Fired Sauna and Wild Crafting.

Today, we are extending our gratitude to all the fruit-baring trees and shrubs that grow on the land. They provide us with invaluable vitamins and nutrients at this time of year.
