Welcome

Wark Farm is a family farming business producing traditonal breed meats & charcuterie in the low hills of Aberdeenshire. We are on a quest to produce fantastic meats and products that are worthy to be eaten and do justice to the animals and environment that create them. Do you know where your food comes from? We want to show you. Are you connected with that place? Let us connect you.

We invite you to join us in our search. Get to know us on our web site. Visit us on an open day and listen to the skylarks. Order some of our meat and tell us how well it has been crafted. Was it worth eating, we need to know. Become more than a consumer.

 

December 2009

 

The seasonal tasks are well upon us now and in an effort to have our Christmas news out in good time it will seem like a small gap since you last heard from us. Not to worry, it is good long time after that until January's open days so you will get a bit of a festive break from tales of mud and feathers (yes thanks, there are still plenty of both).
 
The open days for December break out of their normal pattern and this month fall on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd & Wednesday 23rd December but we are open at the farm each day for our normal times of 10:00am - 4:30pm. Sorry but we are not open on Christmas Eve, we have to do something with a tree. Deliveries will be heading out on Monday 21st to Inverurie, Alford, Strathdon, Aboyne, Tarland and Upper Deeside and on Tuesday to Banchory and Aberdeen, at least that is the best laid scheme. If there are any changes to this we will let those affected know as soon as we can. While we are not taking/preparing seperate orders for New Year, we will be open on Wednesday 30th December for collections from 10:00am - 4:30pm, should you wish to leave your order in our fridge rather than yours.
 
The December product list can be downloaded here and we have our full range of fresh meats and charcuterie this month, with a return from venison also. We are still taking orders too for geese, gammons, turkeys and other seasonal savories such as chipolatas and pancetta which are all itemised on the form. If you are putting in an order this month, we would be grateful if these could be in as early as possible to help our planning, thanks.
 
We shall be at Inverurie Farmers Market on the 12th December and at Banchory on the 19th. A number of people are collecting their orders from the Banchory market and please let us know if this would like to do this also.
 
We will look forward to seeing some of you at the farm or on the delivery run this month and in the meantime we thank you very much for your support again this year and wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a great New Year.
 

Holiday Accomodation

We have recently completed the conversion of the former farm hayloft into a spacious 2 bed flat available for weekly holiday lets. The property includes a number of attractive features including local beech flooring and staircase, doors and windows from Scottish pine and heating from a biomass boiler. We are taking bookings from this month. More details can be seen on the Organic Places to Stay website or download the full brochure here.
