We operate at Craigie Farm and Deli in West Edinburgh and provide allotments and a community garden to groups and charities. This is to support and encourage the growing of food locally, to educate primarily young people from all sections of society about food production and the environment, to conserve local fruit and vegetable production and to have a positive impact on the environment.
It will promote health and well-being and an active lifestyle through gardening and other outdoor pursuits and promote the benefits of growing and eating seasonal, nutritious, affordable food.
We will provide and promote volunteering opportunities in the community, encouraging outdoor and healthy activities as well as social interaction, community involvement and cohesion.

We have been looking at how we can open again, complying with government guidelines. We are pleased to say that we can now welcome our garden users and beekeepers back. Unfortunately our Men’s Shed will remain closed and will not reopen in the future.
For those returning, we have prepared a risk assessment and user guidelines, which are available to download from our website www.craigiesproject.org.uk. We are also asking garden users to read and accept the guidelines, as the site is unsupervised.
Our thanks go to our beekeepers Davy and Paul and to our trustees for all the work they have done to keep us going during lockdown. We look forward to a brighter future ahead.
