13th generation Devon farmer, Andy Gray, runs this 64 acre farm across the A377 from Creativity Acre. It is one of seven farms in the county being supported to design, implement, and evaluate silvopasture agroforestry systems: planting trees within pasture fields used by livestock.

Art-making here during the “If Trees Could Talk” festival offers an embodied experience of crossing boundaries – of practices, disciplines, and expectations.
