Adrian’s Croft

This is a place shaped by seasons, attention, and care.
Food is grown, systems are tested, and decisions are made in response to what the land — and life — asks.
It is not a finished design, but an ongoing conversation.

Adrian’s Croft is both a home and a working landscape.
Over the years, it has evolved through growing food, keeping animals, adapting infrastructure, and responding to changing capacity and context.
What you’ll find here is not a model to copy, but a place to observe, reflect, and experience what it looks like to work with nature rather than against it.

 Spend time here through simple, low-impact camping or occasional open days.
A chance to slow down, notice, and experience the rhythms of a working croft.

From time to time, opportunities are available to join in with seasonal work and ongoing projects.
This is hands-on, practical learning — rooted in observation, participation, and shared responsibility.

The croft is a place where ideas are tested in real conditions.
Decisions around food, animals, energy, and land use are shaped by observation, limitations, and changing priorities.

The thinking behind this place sits within a wider body of work.
Living Lightly Worldwide explores how we think, see, connect, choose, and act within living systems — supporting others to design responsibly in their own contexts.

Small shifts in awareness lead to different decisions over time — this is permaculture in practice.

This month’s Small Shifts in Practice, recorded from real situations on the land and in everyday life.

A few observations and decisions — showing how how we think shapes how we see, and how that informs what we do in practice.
