A Taste of Heather Hills Farm
Heather Hills Farm, based in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, has been crafting exceptional products since 1945. What began with just one bee hive has evolved into a thriving enterprise with 1,300 hives and 52 million honey bees!
While Heather Hills Farm is renowned for its honey, they also produce award-winning jams and preserves.
Supporting Local and Scottish Farmers
The bees from Heather Hills Farm are crucial to the fruit growing process, as they pollinate the crops used in their jams. This not only supports the farm but also helps sustain the Perthshire fruit farms that are vital to our local agriculture.
Unfortunately, the number of fruit farms in the Blairgowrie area has dwindled from 250 to just 15, with three family farms closing last year alone. This stark statistic underscores the importance of supporting local businesses and Scottish farmers.
We’re incredibly proud to partner with Heather Hills Farm and support their commitment to quality and sustainability.
