In 1994 a community supported agriculture scheme called EarthShare, based on organic and biodynamic farming methods, was established to increase our use of local produce as well as to enhance the quality of our food. The scheme has expanded from 5 to 15 acres, spread over three sites. Currently it provides more than 70% of the community's fresh food requirements and supplies 200 individual households.
While EarthShare provides for the fruit and vegetable needs of the community, organic milk, cheeses, eggs and meat are produced by Wester Lawrenceton farm which covers a 95-acre area overlooking Findhorn bay and the Moray firth. With cows, sheep, chickens and dairy facilities, the farm is providing solutions to reducing food miles, while combining the best of traditional methods with 21st century technology. EarthShare joins in efforts to raise public awareness of the dangers of GM foods.
