We are a regenerative, mixed farm on the outskirts of Edinburgh, producing vegetables and rearing rare breed sheep, cattle, and pigs. Our focus is on connecting people with the land and their food to strengthen sustainable food security.
We deliver to Edinburgh City and the surrounding areas on Thursdays and Fridays. Check our delivery zone map at the bottom of this page to see if we can deliver to you. Alternatively, you can also collect your order for free from the farm.
To get started, choose from one of our boxes below and add products such as vegetables, butchery, dairy, bakery, and larder items, available on a subscription or one-off basis.
Weekly, fortnightly, or one-off veg boxes containing a seasonal variety of organic vegetables, salad, herbs, and fruit grown on our organic no-dig farm. When our farm cannot provide all the items in your boxes, we source produce from other trusted organic suppliers across Scotland and the UK. During the hungry gap periods (March - end May), we also collaborate with European producers to ensure a good variety of produce year-round.
Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one off mixed meat boxes. All meat is reared and butchered by The Free Company. Organic and 100% pasture fed and finished heritage Dexter cross beef and Shetland sheep. Depending on our butchery schedule, this product may be frozen for your delivery/collection. You can either pop it straight into your freezer or defrost it and it'll keep in your fridge for up to three days.
Pig clubs were once commonplace across the UK. Introduced in the 1940s to enhance food security, these clubs allowed members to collectively own and rear pigs, receiving a regular supply of sustainably produced, hand-reared pork in return. Our pork boxes continue this tradition! At The Free Company, we handle the work while you enjoy the pork. We are proud to farm organic, free-range, hand-raised, rare breed Berkshire and Mangalitsa pigs. We don’t use nitrates in curing and smoke our meat with windfall timber from the farm. We sell our pork directly to customers in a way that we believe is truly sustainable. Depending on our butchery schedule, this product may be frozen for your delivery or collection. You can either place it directly into your freezer or defrost it; once defrosted, it will keep in your fridge for up to three days.
Local people hand pack your box and do all the legwork for you. Add extras or pause at your convenience — it's flexible and easy.
One of the great joys each week is opening up my Free Co. box and discovering what they have sent me. I can then plan my meals around the veg and challenge myself with new recipes and ideas. I'm also supporting a truly sustainable business.
Food from local, independent growers encourages a healthy, seasonal diet, a wider variety of food on your table, and supports local economies.
We deliver on Thursdays or Fridays.
