Discover the hidden gem that is Lauriston Farm. Alongside the river Blackwater not far from Goldhanger, this community-owned biodynamic farm is well worth exploring. The community team work alongside people with a learning disability to grow biodynamic organic vegetables, raise rare breed cattle and sheep, look after the chickens and work in the craft room. The walk takes us through a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest on the farm, with plenty of birdwatching opportunities. 

There'll be a specially prepared lunch by Lauriston Farm team on the day.  The cost is £13.50 at the farm  payable on the day.  Please select option at checkout.
