Description

Hi! We are Ella and May, a nature loving couple living in Norfolk, UK setting up a non-profit event space and campsite with the intention of sharing knowledge on self sufficient living and improving the connection between adults and nature.

To reach our open date of Spring 2026 with heads full of knowledge and skill, we need all the experience we can get.
We've been travelling the world for the last 4 years, working on permaculture and organic farms, helping at homesteads and helping people with eco renovations.

We are looking to improve our wood working skills, knowledge on agroforestry, grey water filtering, traditional house building, seed broadcasting and more.

We spend a lot of our time taking photos of our natural surroundings, our cameras are always with us. We love adventuring outside of our comfort zones to try new things and we absolutely love the sea.

We have now had four volunteering experiences, we loved the places and people so much that we have chosen to continue dedicating our time to volunteering opportunities and helping biodiversity full time.

We are both vegan and love to cook, try and get creative with new dishes.

Our travels so far have given us the opportunity to learn a lot of new skills including woodwork, mosaicing, horticulture, preservation, harvesting and more.

We spend a large amount of time developing our horticultural skills and our two goals are to be completely self-sustainable and launch The Highest Finca in 2026.
