Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Balquhatstone Mains in Slamannan near Falkirk, a farm that has been in our family for over 150 years and four generations. We grow vegetables all year round in two polytunnels and on 3 acres (approx. 1.2 ha) using traditional methods with minimal interference, and we keep a Beef Shorthorn herd, Blackface ewes and free-range pigs and hens. Since 2000 we have run a fruit and vegetable box scheme alongside our own meat and eggs: orders are taken through our online shop and delivered to your door on Wednesdays in West Lothian and on Thursdays around Falkirk, Stirling, Glasgow and Cumbernauld.

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.
