We are thrilled to announce a monumental achievement! Our artisanal Black Pudding has won a gold award at the Farm Shop and Deli Awards 2025. This recognition not only fills us with joy but also reinforces our commitment to quality and tradition. Let's explore what this award signifies and hear from the judges themselves!

The Journey to Gold

At The Farmers Son we focus on traditional methods and low food miles. Our goal is to produce flavours that resonate with authenticity while ensuring every bite is memorable. For example, we use a unique blend of locally sourced Scotch beef, Scottish oats and spices. This commitment to quality is not just a slogan but a standard we uphold consistently. Winning this gold award confirms that our journey towards excellence is on the right track.
