Whitmuir Organics is a small, organic farm in the Borders. Our plan is to grow for people we know and provide them with fresh, seasonal food when it's available.

While that might mean hours and hours of hand, rather than chemical, weeding and waiting a bit for strawberries, you can come and watch the plants growing, know where the food comes from and see how the animals are treated.

As an organic farm we are completely committed to the highest standards of animal welfare. Our pigs live in the woodland and on open ground in family groups with traditional pig arcs, they aren't kept in concrete sheds. Our hens are truly free range and can root and scratch around all day.

We can guarantee that salads aren't washed in chlorine and cucumbers aren't pumped full of water. The way we grow food leaves the earth in a better or at least as good a state as it was when we started.
