Welcome to PIGSTY
FARM ISLE OF wiGHT
Military Veterans & their families, vulnerable young adults & children in care; Mental wellbeing: all are welcome.
Working together,
who are we?
welcome to the wonderful world that is Pigsty farm
A working farm, with free-range hens, goats and sheep, and as it says on the tin, pigs, it has a dual function as a CIC — a Community Interest Company with a mission as a Social Enterprise.
Becky, the farmer, is a former Army-lifer and her partner a career RAF helicopter pilot. Both have a long tradition of working with military charities invested in mental health and wellbeing. It was a natural step to utilise the farm for the synchronicity of connecting Veterans and shepherding their mental wellbeing.
Dual Roles
