Avalon Elf Coats (www.barefootalchemy.com) 

This biggest unit in the Waggon Shed (at 1045 sq ft), with great views over the River Parrett to Ham Hill, is the original granary sitting above where the farm waggons were housed.  Now our newest tenant, Annabelle Mellifera of Avalon Elf Coats, makes wonderful, one-of-a-kind, patchwork coats and other creations, using almost entirely upcycled materials.

Where the farm waggons were kept, this fine unit (648 sq ft) now houses ceramicist Sally Kent and her pottery and electric kiln.  Sally's work is "inspired by wild hedgerows, shifting skies and quiet countryside walks". Her ceramics are available on Etsy UK and embrace the organic and imperfect, as she seeks to craft products that have natural, soulful beauty.

Mell Oliver  (www.thesunshinebindery.co.uk)

The old flax retting shed, then where we later kept our free range hens, this lovely little unit now houses Mell Oliver of the Sunshine Bindery.  Mell's aim is to spread sunshine through delightfully joyful illustrated paper goods, hand crafted journals and eco friendly stationery.  She designs, sources and makes as much as possible by hand, celebrating locally, ethically and sustainably sourced materials and eco friendly businesses.

The Waggon Shed

Just beyond the archway and heading out towards the paddock is the Waggon Shed.  In fact it's two buildings now joined together with a central stairwell.  The left hand was a granary above and the waggon garage below, which was then converted into airy loose boxes where we fattened our pigs.  The right hand building was the flax retting shed (where the flax was soaked so that the fibre could be combed out) - we kept our flock of free range hens in here.  Both buildings were converted by John Wratten, our longest standing tenant who, sadly for us, has now retired.
