Northdown Orchard is a small organic family farm of just 12 acres. We grow and harvest a wide range of salads, herbs and vegetables all year round in our fields and greenhouses. All fresh produce is harvested, packed and delivered on the same day – only possible with small grower-operated box deliveries.
Veg Out was formed by Debbie and Howard Smith in 1996, and we’ve been delivering our organic veg box to customers every week since then. Starting on a set of allotments we realised that a box scheme was a viable way of making a living, selling direct to customers locally all year round.
The delicatessen in the Courtyard at the Mains of Taymouth estate manages to fulfil the roles of a greengrocer, a gelateria and a deli without seeming crowded or unfocused. It's an airy, modern building with plenty of browsing space and, because of the range, it has become important to nearby holidaymakers and locals alike who come for basic essentials or luxurious treats, all with a strong local flavour. Most weekends have tastings conducted by some of the 25 Perthshire producers represented in the shop, from the Glen Lyon coffee served up and Inveralmond brews to the Rannock Smokery meats – which also go on their home-made pizzas. The thoughtful operation offers food starter packs for tourists, veg boxes for free 15-mile delivery and gift hampers that can be made up on the spot.

Supplying Fruit and Veg has been in Sean Connolly’s family since 1964 when his Grandfather and Grandmother first started their grocery business in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire They eventually moved their greengrocers business to Newark in Nottinghamshire. Years later, Sean continued the fruit and veg family tradition as The Northampton Grocer. As they say, it must be in the blood.
As our veg is so fresh it tastes better. That is a fact. Anyone who has grown their own knows that you cannot beat that 'just picked' taste. But there is another reason; our farmers pick the varieties they grow for taste, not for shape, size, colour, etc. A supermarket tomato has to be round and red with no imperfections. That is because they sell to you with your eyes not your tongue. We have all had those tasteless insipid tomatoes that look good but taste of nothing. You won't get these with us.
