The farm rears it’s own beef, lamb, pork, and turkey as well as growing veg and keeping hens for eggs. All of their produce can be bought in the shop, served in the restaurant, and those in the area can get home deliveries.

Comfrey plants on bank in sunshine
Flower of comfrey plant
After a good season with fairly long spells of dry weather (although not too warm here), we have now finished the comfrey harvest 2015. The comfrey plants are fine this year and because of the cooler weather, it makes harvesting easier as the plants in the sun are ready first.. We then progress to the plants that are in more sheltered areas, as they are ready later. The pictures are taken after the harvest, and as you can see we make no visual or environmental damage to this area of private ground in a wonderfully rural setting in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

After listening to our customers, we now have a larger size of jar available. It is of course jammed full of our gorgeous yelllow/orange calendula ointment which is made from 100% organic ingredients.
I use the calendula macerated in sunflower oil a lot in my aromatherapy practice often blended with other carrier oils and essential oils. The calendula macerate is the main ingredient in my ointment. It is really helpful for lots of skin issues – it calms an inflamed skin such as rashes & sunburn Cracked and damaged skin can respond well to treatment with calendula. Eczema and psoriasis pro
ne skin can be extremely difficult conditions to manage, but often I have had customers report good benefits with using calendula.
