Lauriston Farm is a charitable, community owned biodynamic farm on the Blackwater Estuary at Goldhanger in rural Essex, where staff work alongside adults with a learning disability in every part of farm life, from the veg garden to the craft room.
The whole farm is certified biodynamic, and its rare breed Shetland cattle and North Ronaldsay sheep are 100% pasture fed.
Two acres of vegetables supply a box scheme, three markets a month, the farm shop and Manningtree Wholefood Store, and the animals provide grass fed beef and lamb, organic undyed knitting yarn and sheepskins. Open days, educational walks and courses in biodynamics run through the year, and the gardens, fields and facilities are all wheelchair accessible.

Spencer is an inspiring leader, who has developed a beautiful biodynamic farm, with North Ronaldsay sheep, Shetland cattle and large area of vegetable production. Best to go when there's a conducted tour and delicious lunch, plus an opportunity to buy the wonderful produce.
This farm is so picturesque & has such a calm, beautiful energy. The animals were so gentle & happy. The taste of the produce is so full of flavour. The owner is definitely doing something right. 🙏
Wonderfully peaceful farm by the Blackwater estuary. Gives the opportunity for learning disabled people to experience life and work on a farm with rare breed animals, wonderful meat and vegetables sold at local markets and farm.
Didn't visit farm but it is situated on beautiful protected countryside.lovely walks along river Blackwater.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
A wonderful farm dedicated to all holistic principles. A biodynamic farm ran by an incredible team of people.
A wonderful place that is doing crucial work for wetland birds and rare bees of the black water river and adjacent habitats. Looking forward to the next year when i can buy biodynamic organic vegetables to go long aside their tasty beef and lamb.
