Ardross Farm

2007 Regional Finalist
Farm shop

Selling: Meats, Poultry, Preserves, Chocolate

Run by the Pollock family, the shop is a haven for food lovers and canny shoppers alike. Set up to provide a farm gate shop for Rob's delicious beef and fresh vegetables, the shop now supplies a wide range of farm products from across the UK. Ice creams, summer fruits, fresh herbs, venison, wines and beer are always in stock. The Pollock family has been farming in the East Neuk for over a century and still use the traditional rotation of crops to achieve the highest quality produce. The traditionally grown produce is harvested every morning and none of their produce is forced or intensively grown. Their herds graze in nutrient rich meadow pastures or are fed crops grown on the farm - food which ruminants are meant to eat. Their stocks are raised traditionally in a stress free environment and handled with care. Rasberry jam recipe (which has not been boiled) has been passed down the generations, and has poven to be a very popular choice by customers.

the family are always friendly and welcoming and the food is fantastic as is the information as to where it has been ssourced. The new range of ready made meals are second to non and well worth a try.

Great friendly service, they care about where their food comes from, good tips on cooking different cuts of beef, freshly dug in season vegetables every day. Beautiful location. A larger selection every time you go.

I thought I had tasted some good beef in my time and when I rolled up to Ardross on a drive one day I wasn't expecting what was on offer. The most amazing selection of steaks (all cuts), sausages, venison, chicken and vegetables. Little extras offered such as fresh juices, strawberries, chocolates and pots of ice cream that could turn you into the Michilen man! The staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the origins of the food. A great wee treat for anyone who really enjoys their food. Go on Treat yourself.... I certainly did.

Couldn't ask for anything more-AWESOME!

Meg23 Posted 15 Jun 2007 12:31 AM

Beef out of this world. Vegetables dug every morning. Sausages amazing!

myjo Posted 14 Jun 2007 4:37 PM

We like the family feel to the business and call in to Ardross every time we go to Scotland (we live in Holland) as the preserves are great.

clogsRus Posted 13 Jun 2007 1:43 PM

Fab place, fab products and fab people - best in the country!

A friendly, caring, efficient, family run business providing delicious home produced meat, vegetables and much more. Well worth a visit!!!

CURLY712 Posted 29 May 2007 9:46 AM

Fantastic - my family now eat mince (only if it's ARDROSS mince!). The stewing steak is great too, you won't want to buy from anywhere else once you've tried it. Always service with a smile too.

KSE Posted 19 May 2007 6:24 PM

quality beef with a warm traditional feel to the shop! the cheeses and inparticular the pate are well worth a repeat buy! Treat yourself to a wee cheeky pot of the ice cream its a right touch!

Fras22 Posted 13 May 2007 1:32 PM

Farm Shop is set in a lovely location, staff extremely helpful and products expanding by the day. All products are high quality and keeping to only products made by familing families makes it very unique. Will definatly visit again.

Cannot recommend Ardross highly enough. Everything is high quality and has been carefully selected. You've heard about the meat already. All the vegetables and soft fruit are so fresh it is incredible and the people are lovely.

Tremendous! Fantastic! Brilliant! ...very, very good...

Titford Posted 18 Aug 2006 12:33 PM

This place is phenomenally good. For young local people having BBQ's(the chilli burgers are awesome) to the better quality dinner party (the steaks are awesome), this shop has it all..........Amazing.

icthus_yan Posted 18 Aug 2006 10:48 AM

there is nothing that can compare to the taste and texture of this locally produced beef. absolutely fabulous. No longer choose steak in a restaurant as it cannot come close to the quality they give here.

MO 32 Posted 17 Aug 2006 9:19 PM

Absolutely the best! The beef is succulent and tender. Even my 7 year old son who hardly eats meat will devour a plate of Ardross mince!

lhunter Posted 17 Aug 2006 7:52 PM

Fantastic Shop! Stocks a wide range of local produce including fantastic venison products and wonderful comb honey!

KJB 1 Posted 17 Aug 2006 1:01 PM
