History of the Farm Shop
Rothiemurchus Farm Shop started in 1985 at Rothiemurchus Fishery, selling fresh and smoked Rainbow Trout straight from the clear sparkling water flowing from the Cairngorms into our Fish Farm.

Johnnie and Philippa’s friends asked where they could buy the delicious, tender venison that they enjoyed in their home. So the Trout was joined by carefully butchered and packed specially developed cuts of venison, developed because Philippa disliked traditional ‘mature’ venison that needed marinading to tenderise and disguise the well hung’odour'!

The Grants had always had a Highland ‘stot’or heifer specially matured for them once a year. The meat was so memorable that again their friends begged them to make it available in the Farm Shop. So 2001 we took the big step of moving to Rothiemurchus Centre and Charlie Haggarty the part time butcher became full-time and Norma Hutton our chef came part-time to begin with now full time.

Sadly Charlie died three years ago, so his ‘mentor’ Fraser Sharp – Champion Black Pudding maker of Scotland took over, now joined by Brian Dey. The Farm Shop has moved to another bigger room in Rothiemurchus Centre with Anne Warren in charge, supported by Margaret Pearson when she is not in Austria skiing and Duncan Culliford who is learning the joys of cleaning very fresh Rainbow Trout!
