The Story

A small farm
doing big things

Flutter & Forage is a working permaculture homestead in Barbados. Bees, bats, chickens, a food forest, and a pond.

We share these live streams because we believe more people should get to experience the quiet rhythms of a working farm — the weight of a hive growing through summer, the nightly exodus of bats at dusk.

Everything here is real, unscripted, and alive.
