Monkton Wyld Court

| Featured Course Providers, Latest News from Course Providers | 17 February, 2012

Monkton Wyld Court is an organic smallholding and educational charity on the site of a Victorian rectory in South West Dorset. An intentional community made up of anywhere from ten to twenty residents and volunteers, we grow veg in our walled kitchen garden for ourselves and our residential course guests. Our milk and cheese come from a small Jersey herd on site and Hungarian mangalitzas enjoy most of the whey. Our eggs are from our own chickens and we also keep a few sheep. We run courses related to sustainable living and personal development and also host school groups and community organisations.

Monkton Wyld Court is home to The Land magazine, the Scything Association of Britain and Ireland and Simon Fairlie’s Scythe Shop. We are also a part of the Peasant Evolution Producers’ Cooperative, South West Dorest’s cooperative for organic producers and supporters. Please contact us for more details on any of these or see our website for complete course listings.
