Whitmuir The Organic Place - probably the best organic food in Scotland - just 16 miles from Edinburgh
At Whitmuir the Organic Place,
we sell our own organic beef, pork, lamb and mutton AND we grow and sell our own organic vegetable and soft fruits, with a plentiful supply of our own organic eggs.
We can help you with your weekly messages as we stock over 2,000 lines of organic produce including:
organic dairy and poultry including turkeys
organic bread making and baking
organic chocolate
organic household products
organic baby clothes
plants and seeds
cosmetics and body care
and from time to time we also take a walk on the wild side!
Wherever there is a Fairtrade option, we stock it - from coffee and tea to bananas and olive oil. We offer discounts on cases of your favourite staples and can supply trays of apples in season as well as sacks of flour, cereals or potatoes.
Whitmuir Organic Meat - beef, pork, lamb, mutton
Having an on-farm butchery and 3 butchers working here means we can provide a personal service - whether a rack of pork, pigs cheeks, beef strips for stroganoff or mince for your dog.
We stock grass-fed Shorthorn beef from our own farm, hung in our on-farm butchery for at least 21 days. Finishing cattle on grass improves the taste and texture of the meat, and leads to much higher levels of Omega-3 beneficial fatty acids. We also work with a number of neighbouring organic meat producers to supplement our homegrown produce. Everything is butchered here on the farm.
We supply our own North Country Cheviot lamb, and top up with lambs from neighbouring Halls Farm as well as our own Blackface mutton reared in the Great Glen.
We rear Tamworth sows with a Duroc boar to produce great pork, bacon and sausages. The pigs spend the summers outside in fields and woods, and the winter in a strawed barn with a verandah and outdoor run. Weaned at 8 weeks, reared in family groups, fed on silage and reject fruit and veg as well as best organic pig food, these pigs get to be pigs before they get to be pork.
Whitmuir organic fruit and vegetables
We grow about 30 different vegetables here as well as strawberries and other soft fruit. As we can't grow enough for all our customers, we also buy in from organic farms in Fife and East Lothian. We work with Organic North to source organic fruit and vegetables which are not grown in Scotland, from England and even further south.
Whitmuir Organic Chickens and Turkeys
We supply organic free range chickens from Grierson's organic family farm near Perth. They are delivered weekly.
Our turkeys for Christmas are now here - under the brooder until July and then you can come an inspect them. Adoption forms with a £15 deposit towards bed and board are available in the shop.
Our birds are a heritage breed, single
breasted and slow growing. They will spend the next six months ranging on clover pastures (and anywhere else they can escape to) and they will teach you how to compulsively gobble to them. As most turkeys never see the light of day, this is a pretty good life for a turkey. We have a mixture of Norfolk Blacks and Bronzes, Bourbon Reds, Slate Blues and a couple of Pied Crollwitzers (just for fun!).
