Kintaline is a small 24 acre eco farm in North Argyll (near Oban) on the West coast of Scotland transforming the land curating Living Larders, a legacy for the future, using permaculture and regenerative agriculture principles : News updates : Facebook : Instagram
Currently the land is mostly fallow and feral as personal circumstances restrict activities; the wonderful self catering home my Mother built here is my main income and activity focus to support Kintaline.
Volunteers are welcomed to share the space and help to continue the regenerative work around, to help to learn and implement the permaculture principles, grow and develop opportunities for the future : Pitch and facilities exchange for work around Kintaline – there is plenty to do all year around.
Please Get in touch to find out more.
Sales of the best Henhouses in the UK also supports the farm.
