Join us for a Winter tour of our 3 acre Permaculture Gardens, where we grow up to 80% of our own food. In this video we show what we are growing and harvesting through the colder months and also share some of the jobs and plantings that we will be doing over Winter, which we hope will give you some ideas for your own Gardens and growing spaces. We hope you enjoy our last video of 2024.
We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest – Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible, where we are completely off grid.
Our food growing journey began together in 2017 when we created our first No dig lasagne bed. Every year we grow more and more and now we are currently around 60-80% self sufficient in ALL of our food needs.
Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible.
We are MASSIVELY grateful that you choose to watch our Videos and support us in this way, however, If you appreciate and get value from what we share and would like to help us a little more, you can become a Freedom Forest Patreon (link below). In return your name will appear in the end credits of our videos and we’ll message you a password for the ‘members area’ of our website where we share a few more of our favourite recipes exclusively for our Patreon’s 💚

Loving the coat! Where did you get it?
Wishing you a very Happy New Year! Your gardens are beautiful as always. 💚🌱💚🎉
Impressive what you have achieved.
2025🎉
17:50 ''… made these beds for easier maintenance''. Hmmm – I think that edging beds with rocks = ultra difficult weed maintenance .
Great video and garden. Your pink chard really glow with positive warmth in mid winter. Bananas are herbaceous perennials, so even if the tops die back, they should sprout again from the base later in the spring.
I did enjoy. I love your lush jungle as it is so disheartening to see the weeds running rampant with all the bad weather. I have subbed before (after seeing Huw's video a while back) but I've now changed it to all notifications. I'm rather interested in the banana plants! I've been experimenting on our wild flowers, eating, making tinctures and infusions. Now that is exciting too! Never too old to learn new things! Thank you. Love the pupster too.
Great job!
So is the 3 acres for purely growing food for just you two? Or do you sell excess produce?
I don’t have 3 acres of land to be self sufficient, but have an allotment and poly tunnel and green house. So have achieved growing an amount!! 😅
However did yo afford those massive polytunnels
Great tour, beautiful. Hope you guys had a great xmas! What did you meal comprise of – interested to know how much was from your harvests.
WoW what a paradise, I have loads of trees surrounding my garden , I leave them where they fall, great compost
Hope you have have had a great Christmas and next week for new year xx
I love seeing what you guys achieve as I’m in thebb by uk and not many channels I’ve found based here that show what is actually achieved. Xx
Always enlightening. I didn’t think banana could grow in the uk. I’m gonna get me one.
