Ardross Farm Shop - "Leading the way for farm shops in Scotland ..."

Faced with rising fuel costs and under huge pressure from supermarkets in 2005, Ardross Farm decided to open up a farm shop and sell directly to the public.

5 Years later in early 2011, Ardross Farm Shop has been awarded the 'Rising Star' Award by the FARMA (National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association). The FARMA Awards recognise excellence across the farm retail sector, not only in customer service and experience, but in business performance, staff management and training, marketing and PR, community and environmental investment, mixed of course with passion and commitment.
