Where possible in this remote area we try to:

• Use locally sourced produce to cut down on food miles.
• Cook fresh & seasonally - this reduces processing, additives & cost.
• Be wary of the cheapest - it may be costing "the earth".
• Avoid supermarkets - their ethics on many levels are poor.
• Support our local producers so we don't lose them.
• Buy in bulk to reduce packaging.
• Buy Organic when available - Soil Association standards.
• Choose Fair Trade products with unavoidable imported produce such as tea & coffee.
• Where we have a choice, choose the produce which has the highest level of animal welfare - RSPCA & Freedom Foods.
• Minimise waste with careful planning.

Our local suppliers are:

R & C MacLennan - butchers Lochcarron - for bacon, home made venison sausages & Haggis. Venison is local & wild. Hams we cook & glaze.

West Highland Dairy - for Yoghurt, Crowdie, Cheeses & Creme Fraiche.

Loch Torridon Smokehouse Shieldaig - cold & hot smoked Salmon (sourced from Wester Ross Fisheries).

Wester Ross Fisheries are the only RSPCA approved salmon farm on the West Coast.

Highland Eggs - Organic, Freedom Food, RSPCA monitored. Inverness

Some salads & herbs we grow ourselves - organically.

Summer Soft Fruits we pick from fruit farms around Tore & grow a little of our own. These are frozen or jammed.
