Farm to Table (was Westerton Farmers) opens new farm shop with no packaging
The team behind successful farming business Westerton Farmers near Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire have launched their second farm shop, this time with food and plastic waste in mind.
Opening its doors over the weekend Farm to Table, which is based a few miles down the road from the Cairnton Farm, has been in the works since late 2019. With coronavirus restrictions now easing, it is now fully operational and the new premises will give the team’s original farm shop, the Spud Hut, a much-needed rest.
Having boomed in popularity during the pandemic of the past 12 months which has seen consumers’ behaviour changing as more people focused on shopping locally, Fiona Smith, one of the co-owners of family-run Westerton Farmers is ecstatic to finally see her year-long project take shape.
