OUR STORY
Well hello there,
Thank you so much for stopping by, we are Clancy & Fiona the duo behind Palmer & Gunn. Let us tell you a bit about how we got here, it has been quite the journey.
We are two dreamers, who met at dance classes and fell in love over our interest in all things old. A few months after we started dating we fell hard for what is now our Wee Farm that we purchased in February 2016.
Looking back we think to ourselves, gosh we were mad taking on so much work as the original farmhouse and shed were completely dilapidated after years of neglect.
As soon as we took ownership we busied ourselves restoring the farmhouse and farm shed whilst working full time jobs (including a three hour daily commute) and we started our farm business. It was tough and required lots of sacrifices but boy, oh boy, it was worth it.
We lovingly restored the main farmhouse and originally ran our farm stay there, all the while living in a Tiny House we had built for ourselves.
After hosting families in our beloved farmhouse we made the big, bold decision to move back in and build another Tiny House to host slow farm stays for solos and couples. Wee Tiny was born, a unique, one of a kind, Tiny House with a woodfired hot tub.
We designed and built Wee Tiny using reclaimed materials, vintage fittings, antique doors and windows, not to mention a beautifully curated collection of antique furniture & trinkets to create the most enchanting space to share with people seeking a bit of quiet.
In 2021 we opened up our grand old shed as a workshop space which we have lovingly restored and is bordered by our cut flower garden. This now means we get to meet and greet with lovely people something we don't get to do with our farm stay guests.
We are passionate about curating farm inspired workshops with a focus on self sufficiency, intentional living and becoming more connected with our community.
After running our business for six years alongside our full time professions we are delighted to both be working full time on the farm together and are constantly working on something new behind the scenes.
Our latest offering, Palmer & Gunn Bespoke Elopements launched in Dec 2022, after years of requests and spending six months curating the perfect Elopement we are over the moon to finally offer an intimate all inclusive package so that couples can truly be in the moment together on their special day.
We wear many hats on our Wee Farm, spending our days hosting gorgeous guests at our Wee Tiny farm stay, tending to our Belted Galloway cows, pouring honey from our hives, cultivating cut flowers, growing our own food, hosting workshops, preparing for location shoots and then there is always another project on the go and on occasions we open our farm gates to film crews which is always exciting. Spot our farm on Netflix original series “Irreverent.”
There has been many highs along the way, the biggest by far was when our Wee Tiny featured on the cover of our favourite magazine Country Style Magazine.
We love sharing our farm life with you, so be sure to follow along on our socials below and subscribe to stay up to date.
Kindest,
Clancy & Fiona
Palmer & Gunn
