A mixed farm of 110 acres in the Dee valley near Aberdeen. It has a milking herd of 20 Ayrshire cows, some Aberdeen Angus cattle for beef production, Gloucester Old Spot pigs and laying hens. Some grain is grown for cattle feeding and there is a field dedicated to vegetable production as well as two productive gardens. It is a centre of the Camphill Village Trust.
Apprentices live and join in with community life and work alongside people with special needs. The farm is working towards the ideal of a self-contained individuality. Believing that home raised stock and feed are more suitable, and therefore, healthier. It has solar panels for hot water heating, and will soon have a wind turbine to meet most of its electricity needs.
