Fungi: Nature’s Hidden Architects
Exmoor is rich in fungi and the quiet network of life beneath our feet. Curious to understand it better, we started The Exmoor Fungus Group – friendly folk collectively exploring and learning together. Refocusing our eyes on the tiny worlds that hold everything up.
We work with the native fungi already part of this landscape to regenerate soil, strengthen plants, and restore biodiversity. By supporting what’s already here, we help nature do what it does best.
Heal, balance, and thrive.
What We Do:
Regenerative Growing – The land follows permaculture principles, growing fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers and mushrooms for our workshops and retreats.
Fermentation & Soil Health – From compost teas that feed the soil to kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, and sourdough that feed the gut — it’s all about nurturing life, above and below ground.
Foraging & Wild Landscapes – We walk the land for wild edibles, make herbal teas and create habitats that welcome back diversity.
Beekeeping, Wormeries & Pollinators – The micro-farming part, working with the small wonderful creatures that keep the ecosystem buzzing, pollinating, balancing, and quietly holding it all together.
Walled Garden
Our probiotic is time outside. Here, we grow food that feeds both soil and gut health, using Korean Natural Farming practices that let the flora thrive — no chemicals, no barriers, just living soil and the plants that grow from it.
“To create a healthy flourishing microbiome, we must nurture the land that feeds our food.”
The Farm
Alongside us, Tom, a fourth-generation farmer is shifting from conventional methods to a more regenerative and organic way of working. His sheep and cattle graze in rotation, allowing pastures to rest and recover naturally - keeping the soil alive without chemical fertilisers.
