Over the years the old farm buildings were lovingly restored rather than replaced. Thatch and corrugated roofs were kept, timber pergolas were woven with creepers, and the central courtyard — once a yard for produce — became a garden gathering place strung with lights and lanterns. Today the Farm house walls house an eatery, a farm shoppe, artisans, studios, a spa and offices. The buildings kept their farmhouse bones; the community keeps its farming heart.
