Farm

Our farm: growing food, communities and confidence

The Cyrenians Farm is a social enterprise located just outside Edinburgh. It’s a working farm producing fruit, vegetables and eggs; it’s also home to a community of vulnerable young people, many with experience of homelessness. The Farm grows food and helps the community to grow people, providing a range of opportunities for individuals to develop skills and confidence as a step towards a settled lifestyle.

Get involved

The farm is open to companies and other organisations for corporate away days and team-building events. And we’re always on the look-out for a wide range of volunteers. Can you help?

Team building days

Everyone is welcome at the Cyrenians Farm - including groups from companies. We run fun and active away days for up to 30 people at a time, including refreshments and a fantastic lunch (all from the farm, of course!).

On arrival, we’ll tell you about what we do and how your efforts will help us. You’ll get a tour of the farm and then we’ll get you working on farm tasks - from building a polytunnel to working in our fields with crops. We’ll have a round-up chat at the end of the day and you can even buy some of our fantastic produce to take home.
