The rural community fighting to keep their home

“It’s not being up against a particular person, but a system and a normalised way of going about things,” says Andromeda Gervasio, who joined an off-grid community last year.

Andromeda is part of a sustainable community in Brithdir Mawr, an 80-acre (32-hectare) farm in Newport, Pembrokeshire.

The farm, which has been home to people living communally for 30 years, was recently sold to a new owner who plans to turn it into a retreat centre.

The community were issued with an eviction notice last year and some members left by the 31 December deadline but others have refused and are determined to remain.

They see the farm as an “asset” to the community and hope to make an arrangement with the new owner that would work for all.

The new owner of Brithdir Mawr has not responded to requests to be interviewed.
