White House Farm supports an earth-centred vision where nature is at the heart of living and the seasons are honoured and celebrated.
The Trust plans to restore most of the farm buildings to create a residential educational centre. We will use renewable energy sources and traditional building materials and methods will be used extensively throughout the site. A range of accommodation will be provided.
The buildings and the land will provide a healthy and inspiring learning environment for:
Environmental and holistic practices
Future talks and workshops may include outdoor skills, wild foods, sustainable living, organic and wildlife gardening, seasonal celebrations, co-creation with nature
Arts and crafts
Future workshops may include wood-based crafts, basket-weaving, nature-inspired art, poetry events

2008 UPDATE
Funds have been raised to undertake basic repairs to the main barn. We have also received a donation of two woodburning stoves, one of which was installed in the main barn in February.
LABYRINTH PAGE (please click) - At White House Farm, we hope to build one of eight new labyrinths planned for Suffolk in 2008. A labyrinth meeting took place at White House Farm on Thursday 28th February. If you would like to be involved in this work please contact us.
A tree circle was planted at the farm on Thursday 21st February 2008 consisting of English Oak, Lime, Hawthorn and Apple. A tree circle on farm meadows at Bramfield, near Halesworth gave the inspiration for having a meditation tree circle at White House Farm.
