From Our Farm to Your Table
The farm is now open on Wednesdays 9-3pm for our nursery plants and our seasonal veg box deliveries begin again in June. We are now attending local farmers markets with our produce! See further down the page for dates.
We have been working hard to prepare the farm for this season with some exciting projects underway:
- A new Garden at Airlie Castle to scale up farm production
- A new salad tunnel at Rottal to grow more of your favourite greens
- Setting up a vegetable nursery at Keder house to support our new program: “growing for Angus”.
VEG BOX DELIVERY SCHEME
Despite the beauty of the Glen, we understand that the farm is not easy to get to; so in order to make our produce more accessible to the local community, we have been running a popular veg box scheme for the last year.
Due to the expanding demand for our produce, we are delighted to finally reach the sea this year by opening a new route to Arbroath!
We are offering ultra fresh and seasonal produce, grown without pesticide on our farm or our local partners, running from June up to Christmas.
To keep delivering quality service through the season, the amount of weekly boxes are limited. We have almost reached our maximum capacity for this year already; so make sure you’ve got your name on our list to be part of our routes!

Friday is our delivery day, using drop off points available in your area.
covering: Kirriemuir, Lintrathen, Glenisla, Glamis, Forfar, Tannadice, Brechin, Arbroath

VEGETABLE NURSERY
New service coming up for 2023!
We are very excited to annouce that we are developing our own vegetable plant nursery alongside our usual farm production, which is supported by our ever expanding seed bank!
You will get access to the best varieties grown on the farm and enjoy them at home!
A tip is to always buy your plugs and pots in a nursery further north than your garden to ensure your seedlings are fully acclimated and resistant to your environment.
All of our plants are started from seed in our greenhouse and dispatched once ready to go in the ground.
Get in touch to hear more about our services or check out our services page for more information!
We love to re-use and recycle. Consider donating your old pots and trays!
Volunteer Wednesday
We don’t just provide amazing quality produce for the community; every Wednesday we also open our doors for people to come and reconnect with their surroundings, learn how to grown their food and gain access to knowledge and sustainability.
Being outdoors doing manual activities and socialising in a safe and beautiful environment is a great way to spend the day; it holds the promise of a good night sleep afterwards!
Now the new season has begun and the days getting longer, there is plenty of work to be done from harder physical activities (shifting stones, building walls, ground levelling etc…) to tasks requiring patience and precision (weeding, sowing, planting…) no experience required!
Join us on Wednesdays at Rottal, 9am-3pm
