Join the Farm - become a Whitmuir Supporter today

Whitmuir isn't just a farm - it's where food and farming meet. The aim of the farm is to be efficient, educational and beautiful. Every thing we do here is motivated by a belief that we must be able to produce our food without exploiting the farmers, the animals and the soil.  As a Whitmuir Farm Supporter you are part of something very special.

Here are just a few of the benefits...

  • FREE personal shopping and home delivery service
  • regular Food and Farm updates
  • complimentary welcome voucher to spend in our restaurant
  • open invitation to the monthly 'Third Thursday' Supporters evening
  • thank you vouchers to spend related to your average spend over every two month period
  • first choice when it comes to signing up to farm work parties
  • and, hopefully , the sense of belonging to a farm that's trying to change the way we think about food in Scotland.

Many of our Supporters enjoy the sheer quality of our produce, others want to help a local business, some join for health reasons or want to learn about farming and food production.  For others being a Whitmuir Farm Supporter enables them to be part of a growing movement of people who care about the food they eat and the place they live. 

How does it work

Simply choose how much of your food and household budget you can spend at the farm each month and set up an account via standing order.  Your account is completely flexible and can be used to shop, dine or buy tickets for Whitmuir events.  Every two months we balance the accounts. It is that simple.
