CROESO I HENBANT
Henbant has meadows, pasture, woodland, lakes, fairies and stunning views of both sea and mountain.
We use Permaculture, Holistic Management and Agro-Ecological methods to grow veg, fruit, beef and eggs, but on a small and regenerative human scale that provides food and fuel for our home, our visitors and the local community.
As well as being productive, Henbant is a place where people can come and slow down for a while, to think about what matters in the world and what the world needs us to give back.
Come visit us, grow with us, stay with us, learn with us, eat with us...
"“This is, hands down, the most magical and inspiring place we have ever stayed. Henbant is simply delightful--so many sweet touches and the handcrafted space is just the perfect place to rest. We stayed with our two kids--13 and 9--and all of us agreed it was simply the ideal place to stay. The whole farm is also amazing--we loved walking around the many acres, befriending chickens and pigs and sheep. We loved their focus on permaculture and intentional living, and we left inspired, and ready to return! Jody”"
Heat your home with compost. Jean-Pain hot compost making weekend - 11th - 13th Novmember 2022
Ever wanted to heat your home and hot water WHILST producing brilliant compost? The combination of wanting to and thinking about it for too long, loving compost and crazy electric prices means that we are going to do something I have wanted to do for years.. Heat the whole farm with compost!!
We will make a Jean Pain Style, woodchip based compost pile, connect it up to the plumbing and spend the rest of winter in our pants (the last bit is optional/invite only) but if you would like to join us for a few days, work hard, have great food, great conversation, learn about Henbant, Permaculture and Compost and even make some new friends then this is your chance.

Regenerative agriculture and Permaculture Farming
Imagine if instead of being sustainable or less damaging, all our food was produced in ways which actively created a healthy, functioning ecosystem, where biodiversity ever increased, where soil was ever built (and carbon locked down out of the atmosphere) and on farms where community could come together and healthy food could be produced.. All this is perfectly possible, we're trying to prove it can work

Would you like to eat locally, regeneratively grown, soil building, no-dig veg? We still have a few spaces for new members. You can even come along and get involved in growing it with us. Read more here x
We are currently filling our 2023 calendar, get in touch if you want to hold your special event at Henbant!
We have a very limited number of camping pitches and glamping units. Pitches spaced so that you may know somebody else is there but you can pretend they are not. We also have space at each pitch for you to have a campfire and really feel like your escaping to nature or stepping into the more beautiful world. Read more here.
Pastured, organically fed, happy eggs
We have a happy flock of pastured hens, this means they get as much of their diet as possible from insects and herbs in our grass and are moved onto fresh ground three times a week. This also means that we are constantly building soil, locking down carbon and improving our grassland. What food they can't get from pasture they get from organic feed. Please get in touch if you want the best eggs in North Wales for your shop, restaurant or belly...

“Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos.”
