Bodwannick Manor Farm

The Gaia Trust assumed responsibility for Bodwannick Manor Farm in April 2013 as a legacy from the last owner, Martin Appleton. Since then, we have continued to manage the farm, as he did in his lifetime, in a traditional, low input manner consistent with Gaia's mission if 'farming for people and nature'.

The environment and atmosphere created by the farm buildings, garden and immediate surroundings feels 'out of time' and very peaceful; removed from the pressures of the outside world. 

Our vision for Bodwannick is to find new tenants at Bodwannick that will farm according to the Gaia ethos of "farming for people and wildlife". Bodwannick will provide an opportunity for an innovative farmer to create a sustainable farm business model that contributes to carbon reduction as well as delivering wildlife gain. They will also deliver social outcomes through practical access, learning and participation.
