About Us

Welcome to the Big Wood Estate in Surrey.

The estate is a mixed farm covering 250 acres with arable land, permanent pasture, together with mixed woodland, wetlands and hedgerows.

Our overarching aim is based on permaculture principles – to rebuild a balanced ecosystem and natural habitat for our native species as well as for our animals and our community.

We believe that we can only be truly healthy once our environment is healthy.
