All Saints Barn is one of a series of farm buildings at Finchams Farm, which have been converted into five units over a period since 1991.

Finchams Farm is an organic small-holding, it has a vegetable garden, fruit trees and meadows which provide hay and pastures for the animals. We have 2 small ponies,sheep, 2 goat and kids, ducks,hens,rabbits, guinea-pigs, cats and 2 sheep dogs.

I came to Finchams Farm in 1991 from London with three of my four children. We renovated the stable block which became our home. The following year we built a reed-bed system to purify our sewage.This has developed into a real habitat for birds and insects, and provides us with water for the garden.

In 1998 we built an eco-cabin to house one of my daughters and her family. In 2004 we extended their home with a straw-bale building to allow the three grand-children to each have a bedroom.

We have almost completer the renovation of the last, but largest building, a traditional Norfolk hay barn. This will serve as a space for workshops, eventually a living area on the south side of the barn.

Finchams Farm is the result of a vision to create a supportive community based on the gospel of Jesus and the call to 'serve one-another in love'.
For ten years Finchams Farm was home to my extended family and a constant flow of people who stayed for varying periods.
The families have now been rehoused in neighbouring villages, so two units have bcome vacant. They are now used to host volunteers or paying guests.
See 'opportunities' for details.

Finchams Farm could never have developed without the help of two sets of volunteers who between them have provided almost 4,000 days of help. My local christian Fellowship who share the same motto 'In love let us serve one-another' have monthly work days and an annual working week,which have frequently blessed us. I am a member of WWOOF [Willing Workers On Organic Farms, now changed to World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms] which, to date, has provided 3,4000 volunteering days, an amazing record of willing workers, all of whom have brought such a variety of skills, ideas and new challenges.

Opportunities
As members of WWOOF [World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms], and Helpx, there is the opportunity of volunteering, I welcome people for short or long stays, and we are flexible regards working so volunteers are able to 'accumulate 'hours , working longer sometimes in order to have days available to visit places, usually appreciated by overseas visitors.

We run work shops, this January and February we organized a Stort telling workshop led by Shan Stevens a story teller and film director. She will lead another session later in the year.

Qther workshops being planned;-Reed-bed systems; building with straw, and tyres; lime render and natural paints; sustainable building and living; Creation Care from a christian perspective, living lightly, Permaculture.Yurt building.
