About us
HIstory
In January 2025 the lease for the Gorgie Farm site was secured by the charity Gorgie Community Farm. Since first opening in the early 1980s Gorgie Farm has been the vision of local people aiming to create a green space for community benefit.
The farm has always been central to the Gorgie and Dalry community, offering work experience, training, and nature-based learning in the heart of the city. It has been loved and nurtured by generations, creating memories and affection across Edinburgh and beyond for all who have visited or worked within the farm.
Purpose
Our aim is to continue this vision, to secure and sustain Gorgie Community Farm as an inclusive community asset through strong partnerships and, by sharing space, generate the income to ensure GCF remains a dynamic, collaborative and natural space.
For the community
We are dedicated to creating and preserving a beautiful, nature-safe and peaceful space that fosters inclusivity and wellbeing. We value sustainability, respect for the environment, and the enrichment of the community, where everyone feels welcome, inspired, and at ease.
For nurturing connections
We are committed to creating a space where relationships can thrive, encouraging openness, joy, and shared experiences that bring people closer together.
To Contribute
We are committed to fostering growth, support, and stewardship of the environment within our community. We believe in the power of an individual’s unique contribution to create a thriving, sustainable space. Through shared responsibility and active participation, we support each other’s development and ensure a positive impact on our surroundings, building a legacy of care and respect for future generations.
