Grown here,
not flown here.
Next time you spend money at small farm shops and markets, you’ll be getting more than good food.
You’ll be supporting small businesses and specialised producers who are dedicated to keeping local food production and traditions healthy. (If you’re one of those and you’d like an outlet, call us.)
This way of shopping and selling also means cutting down on those food miles and helps more farmers stay on the land and manage the natural landscape for the future.
And there you were, thinking you’d just bought a tasty home-made beef steak pie!
The Farm > Nature Detective Trail and local walks
Get active outdoors!
The Edinburgh and Lothian’s Greenspace Trust has developed a number of trails and paths on the farm and nearby Craigie Hill. The Nature detective trail is aimed at primary school aged kids, however there are interpretation boards adults will understand too!Just ask in the shop where you can access the paths on Craigie Hill.
Actually, West Craigie is a really good starting point for a healthy bit of exercise.
Historic Dalmeny village (complete with the best preserved Norman church in Scotland) is just a short walk away, whilst Kirkliston and South Queensferry, home of the most famous bridge in Britain, are longer walks, but just a short cycle.
By following paths and cycleways, you can get to and from these three villages without going on any roads (you just have to cross one road at Standingstone). We’ll be happy to help with directions, or a bowl of water for hot dogs!
