"Care for the land and the animals is a central principle of the community"

The estate is 520 acres (218ha) including the 90 acre Loch Arthur and 60 acres of woodland. The farm has been run under Biodynamic principles for 18 years and has had full Demeter status for the past 15years. Our boundary takes in some of Lotus Hill, which has a mixture of woodland and heather moor.

FARMING
We run a dairy herd of 38 cows plus followers, 105 breeding ewes. We finish approximately 175 lamb and 40 beef cattle a year, sold either through our own shop or other organic outlets. We grow 40 acres of oats plus arable silage and potatoes.


GARDEN
The beautiful key-hole shaped walled garden has always been a special place at the heart of the community. Over the years we have increased the amount of vegetables grown in the field beside the loch and turned the walled garden over to soft fruits and flowers.

We are cultivating 4 acres of field vegetables. We recently built a large glass greenhouse and a garden workshop to extend the season and improve working opportunities throughout the year.
