An urban farm growing food for people and wildlife

Located in North West Edinburgh between Lauriston Castle and the Cramond seashore, Lauriston Farm is a hundred acre farm run by a workers cooperative that is focused on food growing, biodiversity, and community.

We want to create a vibrant, nature-rich, wildlife-friendly farm for people to enjoy, and to support resilient communities through food growing.

The farm is a local response to the growing challenges of climate change, biodiversity collapse and lack of access for all to healthy, fresh, affordable food.

You can get involved. You don’t need any previous experience to start volunteering here – this is a good place to learn about plants, wildlife and growing. You can also join our events and workshops, support us through donations, and help us monitor the wildlife at the farm. Check our events calendar for what’s coming up. We look forward to meeting you!
