Left a corporate life in Canada to farm regeneratively in Fife, starting from soil biology.
Steading & Co is a family run regenerative farm at Easter Newburn Steading in Fife, Scotland selling naturally raised beef, pasture raised eggs, microgreens, vegetables and biological compost.
Steading & Co is a family run regenerative farm at Easter Newburn Steading in Upper Largo, Fife, built on the idea that health starts in the soil.
Alex, Symone and the family grow food without synthetic chemicals, keep animals on pasture free from routine antibiotics and hormones, and offer microscopic soil biology testing along with biological composts, teas and extracts for growers who want to understand their land.
The farm sells beef, eggs and microgreens through its online shop, with the produce also stocked at Ardross Farm Shop and the Local Abundance REKO ring. Alongside the food there is personal training, online and in person, aimed at durable long term strength.

Alex and Symone are bringing a unique form of sustainable and regenerative agriculture to the East Neuk of Fife, and to Scotland. Their philosophy that animal and human health and creating a more resilient and sustainable planet starts with soil health is key to everything they do. They helped us with our composting processes, taught and supported us to work on creating micro biome rich soil and have continued to advise and support us with our small holding veg garden. Buying eggs meat and micro greens from Alex and Symone is a great way to look after your health and the health of the planet and Symones cut flowers are the perfect way to bring some East Neuk joy to your door. Can’t recommend them enough.
Great organic produce, excellent and reliable service.

I started with Alex about a year out from my wedding (a cliché, I know), but it was the point where I finally felt I could justify investing in a personal trainer. Before that I'd been running and going to the gym on & off for years, but always felt a bit rudderless. Three years on I'm still with him, because I've enjoyed it far more than I expected to! Alex has built me up to deadlifts and bench press with weights I never thought I'd be capable of lifting, and I love how confident and strong I feel. Alex is a great coach & a really clear communicator, which matters when you're learning. His programmes are built around your actual life too: when I've hit busy stretches we've talked about paring things back rather than me just falling off it entirely. If you've tried other things before and never felt them stick, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
This is a great set up, Alex is an awesome trainer, really knows his industry and it's able to push us whilst being aware of our limitations. My metabolic age has stopped significantly since starting sessions in the gym with him. Also the food is incredible, best duck eggs I've ever had.
The whole package! Have had and continue to have great experiences with both Alex and Symone. As a PT Alex has been supportive, adaptive and motivational throughout to help me achieve my goals which has had a hugely positive impact on my life. And the food they offer from microgreens to duck eggs are delicious, especially the steaks! Great people with great attitudes and a fantastic expanding wee business!
Fabulous strength and conditioning training program! Very comfortable, private and quiet space with great service and attention to detail. Delicious micro greens and Alex and Symone are just lovely! A great find.
Excellent food, great experience.
