Welcome to Splatt Farm Gardens, where the tranquil beauty of rural Somerset invites you to step away from the noise and pace of the 21st century. Nestled in a spacious meadow with sweeping views of the Quantock Hills, this is a place where kids and dogs can frolic freely by day, and the serenity of the night is cherished, with no loud music allowed after 9pm (and total quiet after 11pm, please).
Here, the only soundtrack you'll hear is nature's own, a gentle reminder to unplug from screens and technology and immerse yourself in a simpler way of life. To aid in your quest for relaxation, we've created a serene meditation garden on site, surrounded by woodlands that beckon you to explore.
Embracing the Simplicity of Life
At Splatt Farm Gardens, we hold a deep-rooted belief in spreading peace and happiness while nurturing a profound connection to nature. Our mission is to encourage our guests to relax, unwind, and rediscover the joys of simplicity. You'll often find Amanda and our family gathered around campfires, engaging in heartfelt conversations with guests, listening to their stories, and discovering what brings smiles to their faces.
Campfires and Fairy Dust
Campfires are not just allowed but actively encouraged, providing the perfect setting for storytelling and shared moments of warmth. In our camp shop, you can even acquire a touch of magic—magical fairy dust to sprinkle on your campfire, transforming it into a mesmerizing rainbow of flames. And all this, just a stone's throw away from the captivating Quantock Hills and the numerous attractions that Somerset has to offer.
Connecting to the Earth
One of our core values is a deep connection to the earth, and we're passionate about sustainability. In 2020, we embarked on a journey to nurture our very own vegetable garden, with a twist—we called it the "seedling bombing." Sneaking in before we were officially settled, we sowed the seeds of change and began building new beds for our beloved plants. It was our little secret, a clandestine act of devotion to the land we now call home.
The Bounty of Our Efforts
Our vegetable garden has flourished, gracing us with a cornucopia of crops. From beets to onions, kale to courgettes, cabbages to Brussels sprouts, we've cultivated an abundance of produce. And this is just the beginning. In July 2020, we officially moved to the farm, and since then, we've been bustling with activity. We've constructed two sheds, a polytunnel, and even dug a pond. A meditation space with an aromatherapy bench emerged, offering tranquility amidst nature's symphony.
We've been delighted to host around 100 campers, introducing them to the magic of this place. Our first harvests have been celebrated, a testament to our dedication to sustainable farming practices. But there's more to come.
A Focus on Biodiversity and Climate Change
As we develop, our commitment to increasing biodiversity and slowing climate change remains unwavering. We're novices in this realm, and we wholeheartedly welcome feedback and advice from our community. Our journey is an ongoing one, and we're excited about the path that lies ahead.
In addition to our vegetable garden, we've embarked on a new venture—an ambitious tree-planting project to create a food forest. If you share our enthusiasm for this endeavor and are inspired to support it, you can sponsor a tree. Your contribution not only helps us but also contributes to the global fight against climate change.
