MARRBURY SMOKEHOUSE
Renowned for its luxury foods, Marrbury Smokehouse of Bargrennan
is the number one supplier to some of the most elite Michelin starred chefs and hotels such as the world-famous Gleneagles
Hotel in Perthshire where, in July 2005, it was Marrbury Smoked Salmon which was served at the banquet of HM Queen Elizabeth
II to welcome the World Heads of States to the G8 Summit.

usually delivers our smoked salmon on a Friday, leaving a heady waft of fish and aftershave! As a chef, Vincent is always
interested to learn what Chris is up to in the kitchen.
GALLOWAY FARMHOUSE CHEESE
Galloway Farmhouse Cheese and the farm shop Ewe to You are run by
Ted and Helen Brown who have built up a reputation for creating fine ewe’s milk Cairnsmore hard cheese
at their farm, Millairies, near Sorbie.
Goat’s
cheese was introduced in 2005 and has become very popular with some of Scotland’s finest hotels, restaurants and delicatessens
and was declared “most innovative product” at the Savour the Flavours of Dumfries and Galloway Food Awards.
On a recent visit to the farm, Ted was telling us that the goat’s
cheese had won reserve champion at the Royal Highland Show. Well done, Helen and Ted – it’s always a pleasure
to collect cheeses from your farm.
WIGWAM BAKERY
This is a small community project using organic stone-ground and organic unbleached flours, cold-pressed
oils, sea salt, organic honey and fresh yeast in all their bread products. Additions of organic seeds and nuts and fresh,
locally-grown herbs mean that the flavour is exceptional.
Everything
is hand-made using their own original recipes, alchemy and love! We adore the Wigwam company slogan which is “Live simply,
so that others can simply live”.
What a fantastic ethos.
