Eight years ago we took a leap and bought a farm on the wild west coast of Islay, beginning a new chapter together. I was lucky enough to grow up on this island, so for me it has been a joy to come home. My husband may not be Islay-born, but as a true west coast soul he has taken to island life as if he’d always belonged here.

Since then, we’ve worked hard to shape the farm into what it is today — renovating, repairing fences, improving the land and gradually bringing stock back where they belong. Our days are now shared with our cows and sheep, a goat, a handful of chickens, two loyal Collies and a well-fed cat who supervises everything.

From the beginning, we wanted to create more than just a farm. Our shop allows us to share what we produce here — our own beef and lamb, our wool and tweed — alongside my crochet and sewing, and a carefully chosen mix of gifts and good food. Life here may be remote, but it’s full: of neighbours, friends, and the many wonderful customers who make the journey to us.

We’ve built a life we’re proud of on this windswept edge of Islay, and we’re delighted to share a little of it with you.
