Started by the end of 2010, just after taking our PDC, we are now proud to maintain an beautiful food forest on this previously degraded land. More than 5000 trees were planted, associated with herbals, perenials and few farm animals.

Keela is a large homestead spanning 18 hectares, functioning as a permaculture farm, off-grid retreat center, and a hub for permaculture education. Established in 2016, it primarily serves as our residence where we live sustainably and in tune with nature.
At Keela, we implement a reforestation initiative, maintain market vegetable gardens, and create agroforests and food forests. Our facilities include a yoga studio, various natural buildings, a cold plunge pool, lakes, and numerous established permaculture systems. Additionally, we have a community center dedicated to permaculture education.
Laurence Manchee resides on the property and is a certified permaculture educator affiliated with the Permaculture Association UK. Beyond his roles as a farmer and educator, he also speaks at permaculture gatherings, contributes articles to Permaculture Magazine UK, and offers local consultancy services.
