About Us
Hello, we are Selene, Alex & Yara Cole. Welcome to our small family run business. We met whilst traveling in Australia, and later moved to Wales to work on The Roundhouse Project, a traditional Celtic round house built with phragmites reed on the roof and earthen plaster on the walls. http://www.theroundhouse.org
This project was located in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales where
we lived at Coed Hills Rural Artspace; a not-for-profit co-operative social
enterprise that promotes sustainable living and creative arts. http://www.coedhills.co.uk
It was at Coed Hills where we learned how to build yurts, along with tipis,
log cabins and straw baled buildings in addition to the Iron Age Roundhouse.
Coed Hills allowed us to discover our passion about sustainable living,
both ecologically and socially; the “unintentional community”
that was formed at Coed Hills essentially became the catalyst for Little
Foot Yurts. The amazing people and energy of Coed Hills changed our lives
and inspired us to start a sustainable business.
We have a new addition to our family; Yara Cole who is six months old, as
of Feb 09 was born in a yurt! We have been living in the Gaspereau Valley
for four years and absolutly love it! This farming based rural community
nourishes us with its warm hearted residents and delicious food crops.
