After hearing nothing for 2 weeks we emailed the cofting federation to find out what the delay was onky to receive an email today telling us our application had now been refused as we're not QMS members, which frankly we can't afford and there is also the question of me not being the 'registered crofter' despite me paying the croft rent and being the registered keeper of the animals!
Awaiting a response from them now before I decide whether not to give this up as I haven't got the energy or money to waste on an organisation who, from my personal experience, claim to be there to promote traditional crofting practices but are then tying you up in needless red tape.
Frustrating when we have had samples of produce tested by Environmental Health come back extremely positive etc
