  4. 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

  5. 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. CREATE A LIVING LEARNING SPACE

  6. 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

  7. 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.
