Venue & Facilities

Part of the unique experience of training with Ambios is the community you’ll create with your fellow trainees. Living and working together, you’ll grow and prepare food, clean and take care of your accommodation and learn and socialise as a group. But your time with us is often a very personal journey too and so space, privacy and solitude can also be easily found in the acres of beautiful countryside which surrounds you.

Meals are prepared communally with all ingredients provided, using local, organic produce where possible, some directly from the farm. The way of life at Lower Sharpham Farm has sustainability firmly in mind. We keep food miles low and generate a proportion of our electricity with solar panels.

Our traditional yurt, heated by a large woodburning stove, is the main indoor training space, whilst practical expertise can be honed in our workshops for machinery, forestry and farm management. There’s a second learning and chill-out space on the second floor of the forestry workshop. There is a woodland fire-pit clearing for outdoor gatherings,and the main farm barn often acts as an events venue. Our main staff office can be found in the Lihay building on entry to the site.
