About Us
Hideaway Wood Farm is located in Northamptonshire, not far from Daventry, on 28 acres of beautiful land.
We’re so lucky to have such diverse landscapes and habitats here - there’s a 4 acre ancient woodland, a meandering stream, wetlands and natural springs a plenty.
We’ve planted over 8,000 trees and hedge plants over the last few years and reforested part of the land that was previously a refuse dump.
​
The land is home to so much wildlife and biodiversity. Badgers, nationally rare bats, deer, butterflies, otters, birds, grass snakes, so much.

Our primary purpose is sustainable (and where possible), natural and gentle alpaca farming. We breed alpacas for walks, as pets, for their fleece, for therapy purposes and because they’re awesome!
​
However, making a living from farming is no easy task, so we’ve had to diversify. We also have a passion for getting people outside, connecting them with nature and animals, for building community.
​​
This is why we offer camping & glamping in our luxury bell tents in the spring and summer months and have a variety of offerings you can book onto such as alpaca treks and family experiences, alpaca yoga and meditation, educational farm tours, wellbeing retreats and pop up events.
​
​
After years of working in an office job, I’m also very passionate about getting teams outside in nature together, so we run some corporate / team building events on the farm too from time to time, along with occasional private hire of the spaces for other events. If you’d like to discuss options for a team get together, please get in touch!

We are currently establishing a care farm under our not for profit arm, Thrive at Hideaway Wood, whereby we will provide opportunities for those members of the community most in need to come and spend time at a very low / no cost. For people who otherwise couldn’t afford to be here. We know the space helps. We’re looking for funding and sponsors to help us make this a reality, if you are a local business and would like to sponsor or support us, do get in touch.​

Finally, we aim to be a mother centric, cyclical and sustainable business, working around young children which means we can’t always reply to messages and answer calls immediately. We schedule time to do this and sometimes life gets in the way. Thank you for supporting us in our mission for work life balance, in an industry that is notorious for burnout. If we don’t reply within a few days, we’d love you to send a follow up.​
