1 year time lapse sharing a year in our life on our UK Farmstead, what we grow in a year, how we garden and live self sufficiently in the UK.
Each year we try new things to become more and more self sufficient, move with the seasons and live life farm to table.

We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible, where we are completely off grid.
Each year we expand and grow more, currently we are around 6070% self sufficient in our food needs year round.
Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible.

We are MASSIVELY grateful that you choose to watch our Videos, however, If you appreciate and get value from what we share and would like to help us a little more, you can become a Freedom Forest Patreon (link below).
It takes us about a day to film some video and another few evenings to edit it, Patreon provides a way you can support what we do with any size donation you wish, it could simply be the value of a packet of seeds! In return your name will appear in the end credits of our videos and we'll message you a password for the 'members area' of our website where we share more of our favourite recipes exclusively for our Patreon's   / freedomforestlife
