Highland Wholefoods Cooperative
The shop is closed to the public. Due to unprecedented demand they can no longer take telephone calls or orders from the public. If you are a trade customer, order by email only, using codes to speed up the process. Keep and eye on their website for updates.
Let's Go Lentil
Offering a delivery service of the organic wholefoods we have in stock. All the items are on www.letsgolentil.co.uk with pricings. I won't be making huge bulk deliveries so please just order what you normally would so as not to encourage panic buying and minimum order will probably have to be £5. I will deliver around the areas we usually have the markets (Culbokie, Muir, Dingwall, North Kessock) and will include Beauly. If you live more locally (near Muir of Ord) I could probably deliver on another day so just send a message and I will see what I can do. I am going to hope to have the card machine up and running so that people can avoid cash handling also.Check Facebook for updates: https://www.facebook.com/Lets-Go-Lentil/

Veg box suppliers
Black Isle Veg Boxes
Due to exceptional demand unable to take new orders. If you are an existing customer please order well before the (new) Monday 7pm cut off time. This will help us 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.https://store.buckybox.com/black-isle-veg-boxes
