Who we are

About the farm

We have been growing organic vegetables near Falkland in Fife since 1983: we started as an organic market garden and today also run an organic shop, a vegetarian café, a plant nursery, a campsite and a holiday bothy; since 2023 we have been owned by Falkland Rural Enterprises Ltd (Falkland Estate). In our market garden we grow a wide variety of vegetables using compost and green manures, with salad leaves all year round in polytunnels; the crop from our orchard of around 200 apple trees is sold as apples and apple juice, and our nursery offers plants, herbs and ornamentals raised in peat-free organic compost. The shop and café are open seven days a week, we deliver weekly organic veg boxes by electric van across Fife, Kinross and the Dollar area, and we run monthly market garden tours.
