Family-run farm shop in East Lothian named one of the best in the UK
Carfrae Farm Shop, near Garvald, was the only Scottish location named in The Times ranking.
Discussing the East Lothian farm shop, the publication said: "At the foot of the Lammermuir Hills, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh, you will find Carfrae Farm.
"The Gibson family have been at the farm since 1933 and their shop is in a converted, wind-powered barn and sells fresh Scottish produce, including rainbow trout from the nearby smokehouse, marmalade, honey and locally brewed ales and spirits.
"Light bites and hot drinks are available if you want to stop to enjoy views over the hills, or to warm up by the stove."
The lovely spot is well-liked with users on Google Reviews giving it a 5/5 out of 57 ratings.
One user said: "A little gem out in the East Lothian countryside. Great farm shop with local produce and goodies."
Another said: "Really lovely place to stop off whilst out cycling. Well stocked shop with excellent hot drinks & selection of cakes. I liked this place a lot."
A third added: "Nice selection of items in the farm shop. The owners are very helpful and the fresh milk is very tasty!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
