Frequently Asked Questions

We have a selection of products online including gift vouchers, lamb boxes, our tallow skincare range, some hampers and some beef boxes. However, we can send anything we stock in the shop throughout the UK please so send us an email or phone call to do this. We have thousands of products, and our business isn’t big enough to keep those products up to date online.

We don’t have a cafe however we do have fabulous takeaway tea, coffee and hot chocolate, homemade sausage rolls, scotch eggs, home baking and much more. There is a fantastic selection of cafes in our local area. In Elie there is Habour House  (harbourhousegifts.co.uk) , The Ship Inn (Home – The Ship Inn | Elie), The Station Buffet (Home – The Station Buffet Bar) and The Pavillion restaurant & cafe (thepavilionelie.co.uk) . In St.Monans there is The Giddy Ganet (4) Giddy Gannet | Facebook and East Pier (in the summer) East Pier Smokehouse .

We don’t have public toilets on site. There are public toilets in both Elie and St.Monans which are our neighbouring villages.

We love dogs, however we don’t allow them inside our food shop. We have hooks on our tables outside, dog bowls we can fill with fresh water and a lovely courtyard for them to enjoy. There is always somewhere in our courtyard in the shade where dogs are happy. Our dog treats, sold inside, are very popular as well as our raw dog food and bones.

We produce a huge amount of the produce we sell in the shop.

-our own grass-fed beef
-our own grass-fed lamb and mutton
-a large selection of vegetables from salad leaves, carrots, beetroot to herbs and pumpkins
-our own honey
– we add value to the products we produce in our commercial kitchen where we make over 400 different products, all labelled clearly with our Ardross Farm logo. We make soups, preserves, steak pies, ready meals, puddings, takeaway sandwiches, salads, cold meats and much more.

We are a mixed arable farm. We have sheep and cattle and also grow wheat, barley, oilseed rape, beans, vegetables for the shop and have our own hives for honey.

Regenerative agriculture goes further than just being sustainable, it aims to benefit the whole ecosystem. Keep the soil covered, reduce inputs and enhance biodiversity.

Our cattle graze on the dune system lying between our farm and Elie, in the grass parks beside Elie house and in fields on Balcarres Estate near Colinsburgh

We do have sheep. In 2013 Claire decided to bring them back to the farm to add more diversity, which we feel is key to biodiversity and soil health. The breed of sheep we have are Easy Care and they do exactly what their name suggests. They are largely left to their own devices and are very good at lambing outside by themselves.
