An organic farm in Edinburgh is set to become Scotland’s first community owned farm.
Whitmuir Community Farm, located south of Edinburgh, near West Linton, has invited anyone over the age of 5 to buy a share in its future. Shares can be from £50 to £20,000.
This pioneering model of land ownership will enable the new community benefit company to make the farm a living, learning space.
