Tinkers Bubble is a community of ten people who live without fossil fuels. The people who live there want to live in a way that is kind to the natural world. The forest and the gardens produce the majority of the resources they need. The community also produce a few products to sell including wood, apple juice, cider, vegetables.

One can visit Tinkers Bubble and be a volunteer for a week or two to learn the skills needed to live like this. They prefer that people do not travel by plane if you plan to only visit the community.
Tinker's Bubble is an intentional community located at Little Norton near Yeovil in south Somerset, England. It was established in 1994 on 40 acres of land consisting of about 20 acres of woodland as well as orchards and pasture. The woods are mostly Douglas Fir and Larch but with patches of native species such as Ash. Much of the pasture is maintained traditionally using scythes for hay making. Tinker's Bubble earns a small income by selling organically grown produce at local farmers' markets and selling sustainably produced timber which is felled by hand, logged by horse and sawn by a wood-fired steam-engine driven sawmill. The community has a ban on the use of fossil fuels on site (with the exception of paraffin for lamps).

The buildings are temporary structures built with a very low environmental impact when compared to conventional housing. The community fought very hard for planning consent for dwellings on the site and now has permission for temporary dwellings with limitations such as to the number of vehicles owned by the community.

In light of the possibility of future environmental disasters such as peak oil and global warming the community has tried to demonstrate a way of life which is environmentally sustainable. Despite predictions that it wouldn't last the community has continued to thrive and inspire others.

The community are WWOOF hosts and accept working visits from WWOOF members as a chance to experience their way of life. http://www.wwoof.org/
