We are a community owned biodynamic social farm on the stunning Blackwater Estuary, just outside Goldhanger, Essex.   

Our 210 acre farm is home to rare breed cattle and sheep, along with bees and laying hens.  We also grow vegetables, fruit and herbs.  The farm is biodynamic and therefore managed in a holistic, ecological and ethical way.  We became a community owned farm in 2017 and now have over 190 members.  To date, we are the only community owned farm business in Essex.  We are extending our membership through our current share offer, to create a sustainable future for the farm and support the amazing work we do.  Learn more about us.
