Veg box suppliers
Black Isle Veg Boxes
Due to exceptional demand they are unable to take new orders. If you are an existing customer please order well before the (new) Monday 4pm cut off time. This will help to plan harvest and sourcing from other local growers and wholesalers. All orders should be placed online rather than by text/PM/phone/email as it's so busy that any other orders are likely to get mislaid.
Knockfarrell Croft
Unable to take on new customers due to unprecedented demand. All local markets cancelled. Unfortunately their free range pork is now sold out but keep an eye on their website as it may become available in the summer.
Macleod Organics
Due to unprecedented demand unable to take any new orders at the moment.
