With temperatures rising, our cherry tomatoes are ripening nicely, sweet and juicy... simply, a taste of summer!!

When planning on what to grow, we think, “what ingredients do our chefs need when planning their menus?”. Well the answer is as much as we can possibly grow, including these gherkins - Hand sown, grown (with no chemical inputs), picked, pickled in house for building our own burgers with at the Steak Barn!

Speaking of which… Great 🌞 day for a Steak Barn visit, now open till 9pm, Wednesday - Sunday.

This week has seen our first crop of cherry tomatoes…

Due to the lack of heat and sunshine, tomatoes have come to us a little later this year, but are starting to ripen now!

Also, coming into us, daily, from the Market Garden: tenderstem broccoli, courgettes, kales, beetroot, cucumber, gherkins, as well as a lovely selection of mixed salad leaves and heads.

Wow, what a great evening we've had!!! Thank you to everyone who came along, and we look forward to seeing you next month, Tuesday 6th August, with plenty of sunshine...fingers crossed!!!

We're thrilled to welcome some new and returning favourites to next Tuesday's Night Market...

Schools are out and summer 2024 has begun, so, if you're not jetting off right away, join us for an evening of browsing, shopping, good food, drink, music, demos, with all the summer vibes!

FOOD FOR THE SOUL... NIGHT MARKET - TUESDAY 2ND JULY- 5-9PM

We look forward to seeing you all, next Tuesday, for another instalment of the Night Market! Yup, that time already and half way into the season!

We're delighted to welcome Soulfull Street Food who will be wrapped and loaded-up for their Night Market debut!!!

This time last year we were harvesting tomatoes, but with the lack of spring this year, and the first of the warm weather only just starting, our tomatoes are no were near ready. Perhaps mid July…

Wishing all dads a Happy Father’s Day!!!

This week we celebrate and there’s a lot to rave about blooms, sprigs and foliage, grown in our climate, on our turf.

A lot of what is grown, up and down the country, is rarely seen in conventional florists, making them even more special, different and unique.

We are made to think about the environmental impact of what we eat and how we travel, but what about cut flowers? Ours are grown in season, without any chemical inputs, with an organic approach, as opposed to flown in from abroad , grown with pesticides etc. It’s a no brainer!

So, the team at Strathtyrum Flowers made up some lovely bunches for the weekend, available from the Garden Shed.

Big thank you to everyone who made it to this evening’s Night Market. We hope you enjoyed it and we look forward to seeing you again at the next one, Tuesday 2nd July for another great line up with plenty of sunshine in order!!!

The sun is shining and we’re looking forward to welcoming you to June’s Night Market.

Who said kids don’t eat their greens? Our Market Garden sausages got the big thumbs up from the kids on Monday, and so they’re no excuses for the grown ups.

Today we teamed up with RHET Fife Countryside Initiative and opened up the farm to 148 children from 5 local primary schools, to give them an insight into farm life!

We love to set up days like this, to give our children the opportunity to learn a little bit about where food comes from, and how it’s made!

Some of today’s activities included butchery, veg growing, cereals, farm machinery, soil health, fire lighting, BBQ, as well as meeting our dairy cows, sheep, pigs and bloodhounds!

There are some spaces left at our first floral workshop of the season, this Saturday 18th May.

The pressure's on at the Market Garden...

Having gone from winter to summer, in the space of a week, our plants (grown from seed) have shot up, leaving no transplanting window over the next couple of weeks. Instead, these plants, including our tomatoes, must be urgently planted - 2.5 weeks earlier than last year!!

However, we are looking forward to enjoying some of the produce Andrew has planned for us, through our kitchens and shop,

In image order we have, Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Aubergines, Peppers and Courgettes, just to mention a few.

What a great start to the season - Thank you all for coming and we’ll see you back next month for another great line-up on Tuesday 4th June, 5-9pm.

Who’s up for a VERY good feed tomorrow night from these guys?

No need to defrost anything for tomorrow night as we’ve covered it!! Night Market from 5pm.
