Healthy Eating

We would like to share with you some of the places where we love to shop which offer a fabulous variety of delicious, local, healthy food and drink. (And more, many of them are cafes and coffee shops too).

Perthshire has wonderful produce, including fresh fruit and vegetables, wild game, and locally produced meat. There are also bakers and cake makers, chocolatiers and whisky distillers so you are in for a treat when you embark on a self-catering holiday at Ardormie Farm Cottage.

Payments can be made by cash, bank transfer or contactless card payments.

 Peter Marshalls Farms Shop is just outside Alyth and it is such a pleasure to buy freshly picked raspberries, strawberries and blueberries when they are in season. They just taste so much better when they haven’t been chilled and transported. We all have to buy extra as some rarely make it home in the car! This wonderful little farm shop also sells locally produced vegetables, eggs, Wild Hearth Bakery bread on certain days of the week and many more goodies. Denhead Farms just outside Coupar Angus are another great stop and a must during asparagus season. Scottish asparagus in season is a seriously delicious thing.
 
Mitchell’s Newsagent in Blairgowrie is indeed a newsagent but not only do they have an array of plants outside which are difficult to resist, they also double as a Health Food Store with vegan products and separate vegan shelves. Cornerstone Deli is just along the street and they have lots of healthy homemade treats include vegetarian and vegan options on Meat Free Mondays. They also stock Wild Heath Bakery bread, such a treat.

Any farm shop or farmer’s market in Perthshire is always worth a visit for locally produced sustainable produce and Grewar’s Farm Shop is a firm favourite. If you are in Perth on the first Saturday of the month, check out the Perth Farmers’ Market or if you are travelling further afield you might be lucky and pass Taste Perthshire just off the A9. Great Perthshire celebrate many local Perthshire businesses and also have information on the The Great Perthshire Food & Drink Festival. guration

Serendipities is a lovely café bringing social and environmental change to the heart of Dundee but you will find Aran Bakery hard to beat and so a trip to Dunkeld is definitely well worthwhile. Nearer to home, Flour in Meigle is a great stop for the Coffee Shop, Deli and gift shop, their sausage rolls are legendary.
