Winter
Many farms across Scotland are gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas. Support local Scottish food and drink producers by ordering online or visiting a farm shop. You’ll find fine cuts of meat for your main course, a selection of creamy cheeses for your after-dinner cheeseboard and even a selection of alcohol for a special toast.
Christmas is also a time for giving and if you’re looking for some much-needed gift inspiration, a gift card to a farm experience will no doubt put a smile on loved ones faces. Here is a selection of farms which currently offer farm experiences:

Summer
Summer is also your prime opportunity to soak up the sunshine and go fruit picking. You’ll find a tasty selection of in season fruit to pick from leafy hedgerows. Fill your punnet with strawberries, or find a new fruit to try including ripe and juicy tayberries, brambles, gooseberries, cherries and much more. Summer in Scotland is abundant so now is also the time of year to get out and about and enjoy unique farm experiences, such as visiting a lavender field or picking your own sunflowers.
This is also a great time of year to enjoy all things watersports! Combine a trip to the farm with activity experiences including sheep sheering, speed boats, canoing and kayaking.
