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. In 2003 we moved to Nova
Scotia and in 2005 we started Little Foot Yurts.
We have been living in the Gaspereau Valley since 2005 and absolutly love
it! This farming based rural community nourishes us with its warm hearted
residents and delicious food crops. Our daughter, Yara Pamelyn and our son
Rawly Temir keep us very busy and have been known to strim poles with nut
crackers!
