Tyninghame residents were invited to visit the new Tyninghame Community Farm on Saturday. The Community Farm is on a 2 acre site at the top of St Baldreds smallholding where Danny and Erica live. Its one of a few Community Supported Agriculture projects in Scotland and involves an intensively cultivated organic market garden that prioritises soil health using green manures, and where pests and diseases are controlled through encouraging biodiversity. The tour was led by Dave Barfoot, an experienced grower who explained the rationale and challenges of the project. The business relies on income from regular members of the veg box scheme and sales to Crunchy Carrot in Dunbar. They also rely on a growing body of volunteers to help with planting, harvesting and preparing the beds.
