Cairn Of Dunn Croft Permaculture
We are Andy and Gabrielle Williams.
Cairn Of Dunn Croft is a 5 acre permaculture smallholding in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland.
In 2018 we bought a croft with a derelict house and barn. This channel documents its transformation to a permaculture paradise. A mosaic of food forests, pastures, ponds, swales and livestock systems.
We use permaculture design to build a croft that meets virtually all our needs, beyond sustainably. We don't aim to be low impact, we aim to maximise our impact on the land by becoming truly regenerative.
It's not just our home, not just a business, a croft, a garden or a demonstration site. It's a permaculture life.
