A little about us

Blackhaugh Community Farm comprises 30 acres of land at Blackhaugh farm in Spittalfield, Perthshire. The farm is home to a number of independent enterprises and projects, as well as dedicated areas for wildlife.  The farm hosts workshops and events such as tools mending, film nights, cookery and preservation sessions, as well as open days most spring and autumn.

Each enterprise is separate but contributes voluntarily to steer and manage the farm as a whole, contributing to the collective management of land, communal spaces and shared resources. In return tenants benefit from low rents and access to shared resources and collaborative working and learning within a community. 

So far, through collective action, we have renovated a farm house, planted 1000s of trees, converted outbuildings into work spaces, built a hut, pizza oven, new fences, water systems, ponds and developed a community garden with hub building and compost toilets. There are 9 enterprises currently renting plots at the farm, including: 

Taybank Growers Cooperative: chemical free vegetables, fruits and herbs for local sale, TGC also manage a farm shop on site. 

Apple tree man: heritage apple and other fruit trees grown on site from root stock.
