Hello, can anyone direct me to someone who can supply me with a largish amount of local  honey, for domestic consumption!
we are in Tayside area, often travel to Aberdeenshire!

Hi Emma,

We stock honey in the shop. They come from Perthsire. What kind of honey are you looking for?

How did you get on with the pigs?

Scott Hi, thanks will pick a pot or two up when i come for porkers mark2!!

Del and Rodney were the perfect pair of porkers for a beginner. they were couthy, and calm, never put a foot out of place. i miss them but am glad they went to Dunblane before this cold weather set in. The pork is totally the best i have ever tasted, and the gammon/bacon is devine. (so much for berkshires being not so good for bacon) They really have been the best in every way!. I am already tempted to go for more this spring. How far ahead do i need to book for weaners?

we also had a couple of berkshires from scott - they were fab.  both as wee pigs and also as meat!  just smoking (or at least trying to!) some bacon just now....yum, ym!

and tes, will post next years honey when it starting flowing!   hopefully!

The berkshires have even converted my daughter from a non-pork eater into a fan!!  she started with my homemade sausages and then had some chops.... so Scott, can we call ourselves the Lunan-Ladies and be your fan club??? Well your piggies' fan club!

Hi, have quite a bit of honey from this summer, but am in the Borders, OH works in Edinburgh. Guess this is too far? Also with this winter weather would be difficult to plan ahead for any travel.....

You could try the East of Scotland Beekeepers association, secretary is Mrs Helen Kinnes, her email is [email protected]. She may know of any beekeepers locally who have honey to sell.

thanks Anke, will try that for this winter's supply
