CREATE A LIVING LEARNING SPACE

The future of food and farming is now one of the key

challenges we face and we want Whitmuir to be the place

where you explore and begin to build a more sustainable food

system.

As well as continuing to produce good food every day, we want

Whitmuir to become a national resource on sustainable food

and farming. We plan to develop a number of discovery trails,

exhibits, educational opportunities and citizen science projects.

CREATE A LIVING LEARNING SPACE

Whitmuir, with your support, will be a place where you can:

• Imagine the future of food and farming in our one planet

polytunnel.

• Measure the farm’s carbon footprint on our zero carbon, zero

waste trail.

• Enjoy growing, foraging and cooking organic food in our green

classroom, field kitchen and community plots and garden.

• Discover birds, bugs and beasties and what they do all day on

our nature trails.

• Climb the hill on our history trail and see for years and years.

• Learn to be a farmer by coming on our courses - everything

from rearing your own hens to growing herbs, from laying

hedges to keeping bees, from respecting pigs to making silage.

Whitmuir is becoming Scotlands first community owned farm.

Whitmuir Community Farm Community Benefit Society has now

been established to purchase the land, undertake the farming and

develop this educational work. The new Society is planning a share

issue to raise the funds for this and needs your support.

CREATE A LIVING LEARNING SPACE

In order to create a national resource on sustainable food and

farming, Whitmuir Community Farm Community Benefit Society has

been established to purchase the land from the current owners,

undertake the farming and develop the educational work.

Whitmuir Community Farm needs to raise £600,000 in community

shares. Shareholders will be members of Whitmuir Community Farm

and elect the management committee. Each shareholder has one

vote, whether they have invested £50 or £20,000.

Anyone over the age of 5 can own a share. A share can also be

owned by a group, a company or a school class.
