Green Farmhouse is the beautiful Grade 2 listed country home of MaryAnn and Martin Richmond-Coggan and their dogs. Lovingly restored, it was originally a Kentish Hall House built 600 years ago—50 years before Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth.
The house is filled with character, with beautiful beams and many original features; each room is individual and inviting, with perfect places to read a book or simply unwind.
The favorite places are the living room with its Inglenook fireplace, the dining room with its beautiful beams, the boot room with its well still in use today, and the conservatory with the beautiful views across the orchard and fields.
The conservatory now has a log-burning stove for the cozy winter months.

Instructors
Caelia Butcher
Caelia is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and has been practicing for over 20 years. Experienced and caring, her classes are based on an eclectic mixture of Hatha, somatics, Vinyasa flows and pranayama (breathing techniques), working on strength and flexibility for the body, as well as pranayama and meditation for the mind. She teaches with clarity and attention for detail, enabling the practitioner to experience shifts both physically and mentally. Caelia's personal experience and continuing CPD studies have also lead her to teach therapeutic and seated yoga to students with disabilities.
Alice Yeates
Alice is a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist who believes that by making small changes to our food and lifestyle we can make a significant difference to our long term health. There is much to learn from the values and principles of Green Farm like eating grass fed meat and poultry, in season fruit and vegetables and using stone ground flour for home baked bread. Alice takes workshops in the new Haybarnstudio at Green Farm. She will work with you to decide what simple changes you might make to support a healthier lifestyle.
Retreat location
A stress-free journey from London, set on a private farm estate in the idyllic Kent countryside, UK. It is surrounded by 12,500 acres of ancient forest and farmland with an abundance of local wildlife. This location is perfect, just 37 minutes from St. Pancras by fast link to Ashford International, yet feels a million miles away.

Food
"I never knew that healthy food could taste so good."
Green Farm is proud to have top chef Ian Waghorn as part of their team. With experience in Michelin-starred kitchens and over six years teaching at Le Cordon Bleu, Ian creates delicious, nutritious meals using seasonal ingredients sourced as much as possible from our farm and Wildlife Garden, perfectly complementing Green Farm's wellness philosophy. Green Farm can cater to a range of dietary requirements and will happily discuss your needs in advance of your stay.
Green Farm has a very simple philosophy around eating healthily: cook fresh, home-produced foods when possible, minimum processed foods, served as nature intended. They like to cook 'in season' as much as possible, with as much coming from the Green Farm Wildlife Vegetable Garden as possible and, of course, from its own farm animals.
The bread is baked daily, the cakes are made with freshly laid eggs, and the soup bubbling on the hob is packed with vegetables from the gardens. The in-house nutritional therapist and naturopath, Alice Yeates, helps ensure the meals are nutritious and balanced.
