Micro-business opportunity at Whitmuir

15 January 2013

We have a small garden (0.1 acre) with raised beds and a poytunnnel (18' by 48') available for an aspiring grower to run as a micro-business in 2013.

Whitmuir is a hub of organic enterprises with a mixed livestock farm, plus a butchery, bakery, farm shop, restaurant, art gallery and community growing project on site. 

The focus of this opportunity would be to provide a 'kitchen garden' for the restaurant, growing herbs and distinctive vegetables for the chef.  Support and equipment provided.  This would offer a new grower the chance to run her or his own business for a season without much risk.  This could be done as a part-time business, or the grower could supplement their business with extra hours on the farm or possibly one of the other on-site businesses.  

Expressions of interest to pete@whitmuirorganics.co.uk

Pigs...

Emma Heseltine: This week I’m taking my last two pigs to the abattoir. I’m sure it’s going to be just as sad as the last time, but this time I’m hoping they are bigger and so provide more delicious food than the previous one. My mistake last time was not to weigh my pig so this time I’m getting it organised. John and I fetch the lamb weigher over from Wallace Field and get them in the pens. As the pigs have been moved a couple of times now they are quite used to getting in the trailer for a little ride, its not difficult with a bit of a treat (a couple of carrots).
