Achray Farm, welcome to our home. Grow.
About
Achray Farm is a smallholding in Brig o’Turk in the heart of the Trossachs. Our sustainable permaculture and low-input methods produce supplies with provenance and love. We currently have a small polytunnel and market garden, a large selection of hens, duck eggs incubating and two very friendly Oxford Sandy & Black pigs.
The farm sits on the Great Trossachs Path and visitors are welcome anytime as we have a literal ‘open gate’ policy. Dogs on leads please and sustainable transport preferred (please walk from the Byre Inn or access from the Three Lochs Forest Drive).
