Farm Values

(wider values)
Industrial agriculture is destroying our planet and accelerating the climate crisis, small-scale ecological farming systems offer viable solutions. Ecological farming draws down carbon and minimizes waste, reduces
food miles, removes harmful pesticides, supports biodiversity and brings social benefits. Scotland has one of the most concentrated land ownership patterns in the world creating huge financial and practical barriers to new farmers, whilst perpetuating social inequality and biodiversity loss. Collective and decentralized land ownership models offer a more sustainable and equitable alternative. (Specific to the farm/group)
We operate primarily at a local level for local community benefit, but recognise that we are part of a wider movement tackling global challenges. Bringing projects and people together creates a forum to share skills, knowledge, perspectives and experiences both informally and formally. Access to shared resources and spaces reduces costs and helps build a culture of anti-consumerism, low waste and mutual aid*. Human relationships are central to our well-being, health and happiness. By spending time together and within our community our project fosters social
interactions, friendships and well-being. Collective self-governance and decision making facilitates the sharing of power and responsibility. Autonomy and freedom allow projects on the farm to operate at their own pace in their own way, within collectively defined aims, objectives and values.

*Mutual aid: the voluntary exchange of resources and services for mutual benefit.

*Autonomy: Self-government; freedom to act or function independently.

Our outdoor kitchen has had a bit of an upgrade... new slab floor, upgraded quartz counter top, cob pizza oven and deep stainless steel sink. Its absolutely brilliant for cooking a feast. We've test run it twice in the last week, first with our veg power volunteer group and second cooking for over 50 campers this weekend.

The freshest veg, straight from the garden, grown, prepped cooked and eaten together, this is how we like to do farm to fork; simple, delicious, collaborative.

All our spaces are available to hire at affordable rates - https://blackhaughcommunityfarm.weebly.com/community-garden--hub-hire.html

We were delighted to host Glendelvine primary school's celebration for Attenborough's 100th Birthday. A gorgeous afternoon of film clips, stories, pledges and fun. We love seeing our spaces filled with families learning and connecting.
