The Promised Land
'Loving people back to life'
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
On our land of 4 acres we have pigs and chickens and we grow fruit and veg. 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.
​
HUSBANDRY
We have had pigs and chickens for 7 years. They are full of character and there's not a dull moment in the day as we tend to their needs. We love to rehouse battery hens if possible and its so rewarding seeing them get their cluck back! Its great to use the cycle of life to help us all to see beyond our own problems. In that we have successfully taken 2 groups of young pigs to slaughter. At present we have 3 pigs, 1 boar and 2 sows. Our aim is to start a breeding programme early 2020.

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.
