Orkney Boreray Hogget is in stock!!

We have whole and half boxes plus a new taster box. As always it is limited stock so when its gone, it's gone.

Buy buying Boreray Mutton, you are helping to preserve a critical rare breed. As a slow growing and slow maturing meat, this Orkney Boreray is full of flavour

Our sister shop is recruiting!

Part-Time Shop Assistant & Baker

We're looking for someone to join our small team at the Old Market.

While this role includes serving customers in our refill shop, we're particularly keen to find someone who is interested in baking and would enjoy becoming part of the bakery side of the business too.

The role involves helping customers use our refill bins, explaining how the shop works, keeping the shop looking welcoming and well-stocked, and generally being a friendly face for our lovely community of customers. Much of the shop work is carried out independently, so you'll need to be confident working on your own and taking initiative.

Alongside this, there is an opportunity to get involved in our micro bakery. Whether you already have baking experience or are keen to learn, we'd love to hear from people who are enthusiastic about making good food from scratch. For the right person, baking could become a significant part of the role.

Shop opening hours are:

Monday to Friday: 9.30am – 4.30pm
Saturday: 9.30am – 1.30pm

We're fairly flexible with shifts. As bakery work often happens outside shop opening hours, there may be opportunities for additional hours and flexibility for someone keen to take on baking responsibilities.

We're looking for someone who is:

Friendly, cheerful and customer-focused
Reliable and comfortable working independently
Interested in sustainable living and refill shopping
Enthusiastic about baking and food
Keen to learn new skills and become part of a small, growing business

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys both people and food — spending time serving our wonderful customers and helping create the baked goods that keep them coming back.

If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch and tell us a little about yourself and why you'd like to join the team.

The Two Jock's. Like the Two Ronnies but less funny. A lot less!!

It was absolutely fantastic to put on a couple of butchery demos for the event at . We don't often take the butchery to the farm but it was a great opportunity to showcase the skills of our butchers and how we make the most of the beef that comes to us from the farm.

Beef often gets talked about in very simple terms.

Good or bad. Healthy or unhealthy.

But food is rarely that black and white.

Beef is naturally rich in high quality protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12. These are nutrients the body needs for things like muscle maintenance, oxygen transport, immune function, red blood cells and nerve function.

That is one of the reasons red meat has had such an important place in diets for generations.

With our beef, there is another part to the story.

We are Pasture for Life certified, which means our cattle are fed on pasture and forage, not grain.

That matters to us from a farming point of view, but it can also influence the nutritional profile of the beef.

Research into pasture fed beef has shown that it can have a more favourable fat profile than grain fed beef, including higher levels of omega 3 fatty acids and a better balance between omega 6 and omega 3.

That does not make beef a magic food.

It is still beef.

But it does mean how it is produced matters.

For us, beef is not about eating more for the sake of it. It is about eating good food, produced well, with proper nutritional value.

Beef is a very useful, nutrient dense part of a balanced diet.
Oh and it is delicious!!
