We’re thrilled to be top of the Courier’s Berry Trail, which features just five Angus farms and growers. We’re thought to be the areas oldest soft fruit farm shop and are celebrating the farms tenth anniversary this year.
We’ve have been farming for three generations on our 650 acre mixed farm since Gordon Porter established East Scryne Farm in 1942. Since his son, William, started growing strawberries in 1962, the soft fruit part of the business has grown significantly. James Porter (Chair of Ringlink Scotland and regular columnist in the Scottish Farmer magazine) and the Porter family, are well known across the UK for growing the best soft fruit. We employ over 250 seasonal workers and 16 permanent staff, and our strawberries and blueberries have been sold to supermarkets like Sainsbury’s, M&S, Asda, Morrisons and Aldi, since the early 1990s.
We’re proud to farm and trade sustainably and are LEAF, Red Tractor Assured and Scottish Quality Cereals accredited. By combining our sustainable field-to-fork ethos, employing the very best local bakers and serving staff, and working with regional artisans and like-minded producers, we work hard to bring you the very best in the Angus region.
