Who we are

About the farm

We, the Stephen family, have been farming for three generations in the north-east of Scotland, on the B9001, 4 miles from Rothienorman and 6 miles from Turriff; our farm shop was founded by Eric J Stephen in the 1970s as a roadside bench selling surplus vegetables. We pick our own vegetables and potatoes daily, and our home bakes – including the famous melt-in-the-mouth shortbread – are made by Catherine Stephen. Since 2018 our shop has run on vending machines, the first of their kind in the UK, open every day from 6am to 8pm; local suppliers' products complement our range, and we also offer coffee and hot chocolate to take away.

Who are you?

As a producer, use the email address on your farm profile.

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.

Is this your farm?

If this is your farm, you can take over the profile: click the button and enter your e-mail address. If it matches the address stored for the farm or the website's domain, you receive an edit link at once; otherwise we verify you with an SMS code sent to the farm's known phone number, or with a short manual check. The link is valid for 30 days; your changes appear immediately marked "under review" and become final after approval.
