Aberdeen Angus Fresh Beef Day | Friday 31st July

Join us at Lauriston Farm for a day of delicious food and fresh, biodynamic produce. Come for one activity or enjoy all three!

🥩 Fresh Beef | 11am–3pm
Stock up your freezer with fresh Demeter-certified Biodynamic Aberdeen Angus beef from our friends at Willow Hall Farm. Their 100% grass-fed beef is traditionally hung for exceptional tenderness and flavour.

Many of you know we’ve had a temporary pause in our own beef production, so we’re delighted to be working with fellow biodynamic farmer David Hampton, whose farming values closely match our own. We’re also looking forward to welcoming back our own rare-breed Biodynamic Shetland beef later this year.

🚶 Farm Walk | 11am–1pm
Join Spencer Christy and the team for a guided walk exploring the history of Lauriston Farm, biodynamic farming, and our work as a social farm.
Suggested donation: £10

🥗 Organic Lunch | 1pm–2pm
Guest Chef Bryn Carter will be serving a seasonal 2 course organic lunch made with fresh farm produce.
£15 per person

All produce is freshly harvested from the farm, with organic dried ingredients.

We’d love to see you there! 🌱
