Future developments
As our business continues to grow we need more space, more vegetables and more staff.

• Space we are dealing with - by late summer 2009 we hope to be located in Banchory with a dedicated catering kitchen and bistro café. We will continue to run the kitchen at Finzean Farm Shop as well.
• Vegetables – are you growing locally? – if you have surplus you want to sell or exchange we would love to hear from you.
• Staff – if you have stamina, a sense of humour and muscles please call for a chat 013398 87073 – an interest in food is assumed.
