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.
