Scotland Grown: my favourite Scottish food producers & farm shops

Posted on Last updated:

I love buying direct from producers who genuinely care about Scotland.

I always try to choose businesses that prioritise provenance and sustainability. The ones who know exactly where their ingredients come from because they’ve grown them themselves.

So if you’re looking for Scottish producers who focus on sustainability, short supply chains and soil-to-shelf integrity, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are the Scottish makers, growers and distillers doing things properly.
