What we do | The Promised Land

We started The Promised Land in 2012 as a place to build community for people who live on the fringes. It is a place of peace where we work hard and have fun.

THE LAND

Sadly all our lovely chickens and pigs have passed away naturally from old age. We miss them but won't be having animals on TPL for a while. We are not shy of hard work and we love nothing better than a building project or planning what's next on the land. We have polytunnels, raised beds and an orchard which keeps us all busy. Being in the outdoors helps us all to feel part of a community and keeps us fit and healthy in body and mind.

The Land Update 2026

We have been busy rewilding some of the land by introducing native species of plants, a bug hotel and leaving areas for nature to take back. We are enjoying seeing how this has encouraged our local wildlife. We have regular visits from foxes, badgers and have even seen some deer wandering through! One of our favourite things to do is listen out for new birds on our phone app whilst watching our resident pheasants strutting around the site.

LOVING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE

We all need a hand up from time to time and at The Promised Land we love to come alongside people and help them. Sometimes that's being a listening ear or perhaps walking with them as they find their way after a life trauma.

FLOWERS!

At TPL we have a cutting garden which is such a labour of love for us. We had the absolute pleasure of being asked to arrange the flowers for 2 weddings last year. It was such a joy!! If you are interested in having some local flowers for your home or special occasion, we would love to hear from you.

One of our team, Emma, got married last year. She asked for wild, natural posies and bouquet.
