to address this overwhelming challenge, we find ourselves in a very sad position with our local planning department and they are now threatening us with a huge fine of £20,000.

We want to challenge their decision, but we need your help!

Our farm sits in the heart of rural Suffolk, tucked in 12 acres of beautiful countryside, in a fast developing village called Thurston.

The farm is a small farm which buzzes with life from the bee hives to the vegetable patch, with staff and volunteers making up a growing team of like minded people enjoying the land and developing a self sustainable environment. It is split in to two areas, firstly the animal enclosure which hosts a rich environment for both work experience and individuals that benefit from personal development for many different reasons. Second are the growing areas where we grow a huge selection of plants, fruit and vegetables to sell in our farm shop and online to the local community.

Unfortunately we have lost an appeal for planning permission for a few things on the farm which will have a huge, detrimental impact on the farms future.

Whilst we are in the process of resolving what we can, we believe some of the decisions made by the council are unfair and we really need some support to try and prove to them why we believe this!
