Who we are
About the farm
Since 2015 we have been farming at Auldgirth near Dumfries in southern Scotland, on a steading built in the 1800s and abandoned since the 1970s, which we – two designers and our retiring parents – took over and are restoring. On 80 acres (about 32 ha) we farm regeneratively and pasture-based, certified organic by the Soil Association, keeping heritage breeds – pedigree Gotland and Ryeland sheep, Oxford Sandy & Black pigs – as well as chickens, geese and horses. We produce meat, eggs and wool, sold through Nurture From Nature, our online farm shop, and our online butchery, with collection from the farm on Fridays; we welcome visitors by appointment and also offer glamping and bothy stays as well as events.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
