This year, our AGM event is taking place at Lauriston Farm, situated
right on the Blackwater Estuary, just outside Goldhanger in Essex.
Lauriston Farm’s 225 acres are managed using biodynamic methods and has been Demeter Certified for many years. The farm is home to rare breed cattle and sheep, bee hives,laying hens, vegetables and woodland. Eighty-five percent of the farm is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Within this, there are also two listed ancient
monuments.
Along with the usual AGM business meeting there will be a presentation and update on the Biodynamic Seed Project followed by lunch (for a small charge) which will be produced from as much of the farm’s produce as possible!
After lunch, a farm walk will allow you to explore the farm and it will take us to the Blackwater Estuary sea wall. Finally, we will be making the horn manure that the farm will need for the coming year - a great opportunity to learn or hone your cow horn filling skills.
Appropriate clothing and footwear will be needed for the farm walk as it can be very windy, also for the business meeting and talks which will be held in our cattle shed.
There is ample parking, local overnight accommodation, including on farm camping.
Members, friends and anyone interested in attending are all welcome to all or part of the day.
