Lauriston Farm is a 210-acre communityowned farm on the Blackwater Estuary, just outside Goldhanger in Essex. The farm is biodynamic and is managed in a holistic, ecological and ethical way to produce beef, lamb and a variety of vegetables using small raised beds. This traditional market garden method was revived and improved by world renowned farmer and author, J.M. Fortier.

For this talk, we will be hearing from the three farmers/ gardeners who look after Lauriston and find out how they used a two-wheeled tractor, hand tools and a tight planting scheme, to grow high-yielding and profitable crops on a small piece of land. We will also hear more about the social farming aspect of their work.
