Welcome to the new retro Simple-Earth site.

Our farm, Windhelm, is our sanctuary, sustenance, and livelihood—where we aim to blend old-world wisdom with practical knowledge.

We farm with our hands in the soil and our minds open to learning, drawing from permaculture principles, biological understanding, and scientific insights while honoring traditional practices. Our backgrounds in software and electronics bring unexpected solutions to age-old farming challenges.

Beyond our family's table, we cultivate community resilience through honest trading and sharing our surplus food, work and resources. At Windhelm, we're building a farm that feeds both people and place, prioritising the long-term well-being of the land and all who depend on it—a humble pursuit that guides everything we do.

This website, Simple-Earth, is where we share our hard-earned insights through videos, articles, and stories. It's also your direct connection to both our physical farm products and digital offerings—a window into our experiments, successes, and occasional failures. Our no-frills platform reflects our practical approach: providing straightforward access without unnecessary complexity. We believe in building community alongside our farm, so we welcome you to connect with us and become part of this growing ecosystem.

We're about the goats and the oats,
The wells, the water and what matters,
Growing feed, selling seed, with no shortcuts or cheats.
Farming to survive like it's 1435,
While coding and building like it's 2025.
