with Spencer Christy

As the Sun, moon, stars and planets move through the sky following their individual journeys and marking the days of the year, so does life’s journey in the Social Farming Community at Lauriston Farm move forward from day to day! The farm is on the Blackwater Estuary in rural Essex, where biodynamic vegetables are grown, rare breed cattle and sheep are raised, chickens lay eggs and lots of work is done in the craft room. As well as being a vital part of our biodynamic farming system, the animals produce pasture fed meat, organic undyed knitting yarn and organic sheepskins. Around forty people a week work on the farm. Around two-thirds have special educational needs and co-work alongside our experienced farm team in a safe, supportive and tranquil environment. Those at Lauriston know the value of meaningful work!

Spencer is a real farmer at heart. He was born in Maldon, Essex and begun building the farm business at Lauriston in 2004.  Spencer is an active member of the Anthroposophical Society and ACESTA, a former trustee with the Biodynamic Association and a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Visits to the farm are welcome.  https://www.lauristonfarm.co.uk
