Who we are
About the farm
We are a family farming Guardswell Farm in Perthshire, between Abernyte and Kinnaird, since 2011: we manage our 180-acre (about 73 ha) grassland farm with a regenerative approach. We keep Hebridean sheep, Shetland cattle, Angora goats and free-range laying hens; we sell our Hebridean hogget and our solely grass- and hay-fed Shetland beef direct from the farm, have our mohair and Hebridean fleece spun into yarn, and grow vegetables and herbs in our chemical-free market garden, Guardswell Grows. We offer our produce at our self-service farmstand and in our online store; we welcome guests with six places to stay, events, workshops, farm lunches and pop-up dinners.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
