Argyll Food Hub

Knapdale Artisan Bread

“ All our Breads are handmade, carefully, slowly and in small batches. Most of our flour is Organic, mostly from Scottish mills in Lothian, Fife or Highland Perthshire. This includes Spelt, Ancient Grains, Wheat, Barley, Rye — real superfoods! When we use yeast, it’s fresh yeast. Our salt is Atlantic Sea Salt without additives. Our Sourdough takes at least 2 days to produce including 24 hours of slow fermentation gathering Wild Yeasts using our own Aged Starter, (we call her 'Saorsa' — Gaelic for Freedom). ”

What we stock: classic organic white; whole-wheat and light rye sourdough; granary loaf with pumpkin, chia, flax or sunflower seeds; ancient grain granary; cranberry and walnut sourdough; local garden rosemary sourdough; and malted wholegrain sourdough with flax and hemp.

Sound of Jura Seaweeds

“ Sound of Jura Seaweeds is a small-scale enterprise based in Tayvallich. Lottie has a Crown Estate Licence to hand-harvest seaweed in the Sound of Jura which, thanks to its cold running tides and exposed shoreline, is home to most species of the 650 or so algae found in UK waters. Her harvesting process is a strictly ecologically sensitive practice. At a low tide she kayaks to a remote shoreline and selectively cuts the live seaweed with scissors - rather like trimming hair! Lottie is also a keen snorkeler and produces artwork from dived for and pressed seaweed.”

What we stock: dried dulse; seaweed salt; and an assortment of high quality, seaweed-print greeting cards.

Little Keills Meat

“Bring the natural wilderness of the Argyll coast to your dinner table with our slow reared, free-range meats. On our family croft we take the long-view; working in harmony with nature to rear our native breeds sustainably. Life on this remote shore overlooking the Isle of Jura is unhurried and that’s how our animals like it. Our naturally produced meats are distinctively rich in flavour thanks to the unique climate of this happy wee Highland croft!”

Diverse Preserves

“Homemade jams, pickles and relishes by Gill Curie: Diverse Preserves was born in March 2017, in the West of Scotland. Having made jam, marmalade, pickle and chutney to give away to friends and family I was persuaded to make it available to the public!”

Wee Isle Dairy

“Wee Isle Dairy is a family-run business based at Tarbert Farm, a small dairy farm near the north of Gigha island. Here, around 60 cows produce the wonderfully rich whole milk used in the artisan ice cream.”

What we stock: pasteurized whole milk sold in glass bottles, homemade caramel and chocolate sauces, and a range of delicious ice cream flavours.

Lussa Gin

“Lussa Gin is an expression of our wild landscape on the Isle of Jura, situated off Scotland’s west coast. For us that means growing, gathering and distilling fifteen zesty and aromatic botanicals so we can pack as much local flavour into every bottle as we can. At cooler temperatures you can actually see the botanical oils as a faint haze in the bottle – if you’re lucky, you’ll see a flash of them when you add tonic. Because every batch is hand made using a traditional still, the temperature where the oils show themselves will vary. What never varies is the care we take in growing, gathering and distilling Lussa Gin at the north end of our breathtaking, windswept isle.”

Beinn an Tuirc Gins

“We have been producing award winning spirits at our small, family-run Kintyre distillery since 2017, including our signature Kintyre Gin. We use our very own renewable energy, powered from a 100kw hydro-electric scheme at our home on Torrisdale Castle Estate. Our water is sourced from the hill from which we take our name. ‘Beinn an Tuirc’ translates from gaelic as ‘The Hill of the Wild Boar’ and is the highest point in Kintyre, located above our distillery building.”

Isle of Arran Cheese Shop

“The prevailing winds being South Westerly straight off the Atlantic means the Isle of Arran can deservedly claim to be 'Clean and Green'. The Cheese Shop sits on the footprint of what was the original dairy for the Home Farm which supplied the Dukes and Duchesses of Brodick Castle for several centuries.”

What we stock: smoky garlic cheddar, Arran mustard flavoured cheddar, cracked black peppercorn cheddar, oak smoked cheddar, and caramelised onion cheddar.

Skipness Smokehouse

“Our award-winning products are all sensibly sourced and produced in small batches in our artisan smokehouse. The new smokehouse, is just a small ferry ride away from the Isles of Arran, Islay, Jura, and Gigha — situated in the grounds of Skipness Castle. Our business was established in 1990.”
