Co-operation is key. Our mission is to help people regenerate themselves and the land they have stewardship over. We work with many others to try and meet this mission.

Critically, we work with all Life: building the soil food web not depleting it and we aim to create abundance for people and other animals, through nurturing plants and fungi.

We are a registered society, operating as a workers co-operative. This means workers are members, who co-own the business. We manage the business collectively. As a team, we communicate openly, with regular meetings to help the day to day run smoothly and quarterly strategic meetings.
