Ruth Ashton-Shaw
Soil Association Scotland Organic Producer Board Member
Ruth is an organic farmer, food producer, and advocate for regenerative agriculture based in Dumfries & Galloway.
Having fallen into farming accidentally after moving to Scotland, she has spent the past decade building a diverse, thriving enterprise rooted in soil health, community, and connection - challenging conventional approaches and finding ways of working that nurture a resilient, balanced environment.
Working with rare and native breeds of sheep, pigs, cattle, and poultry, Ruth produces sustainable meat, eggs, and wool, and hosts immersive food experiences such as her Field Fare supper clubs and Farm Fresh Christmas Pop-Up Shop, which celebrate local, seasonal food and small-scale producers.
