We moved to La pierre in 2006 to become gardiens of this beautiful, precious land.
​
La Pierre is a strong part of our family history, the original portion of land being previously owned and loved by Ellas' maternal grandparents.
​
La Pierre has been a much loved home and sanctuary for our family and friends over many years. We are the 3rd and 4th generations to live here.
​
We live on the land using permaculture and agroforestry principles, nurturing native species and working each day towards a more sustainable, self-sufficient, conscious existence.
We are passionate about conservation and re-establishing solid eco-systems for ourselves and our visitors to thrive in.
Each year we plant trees to protect our own future, that of our family, community, local wildlife and our planet as a whole.
Ella is a vegetarian chef with trainings in yoga and beekeeping.

Ed is an english teacher, landscape gardener, plantsman and all round very handy person
"The best time to plant trees was 10 years ago, the other best time is today"

"We love sharing this place with visitors and seeing how people begin to slow down during their stay.
Come and visit and share this magical place with us"

"Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience"
Ralph Waldo Emerson


With many thanks to all our visitors who help to make this a sacred place.
Each year we have planting and construction projects to achieve in our off-season months.
With the help of some amazing volunteers, we achieve improvements to the land and all the various energy systems that exist within it.
We welcome volunteers to the land from March 1st.
