The Produce

The islands’ geographical characteristics ensures the methods of agricultural production, shaped and inspired through centuries of community use, leave it far removed from intensive farming systems found in many mainland areas.

Much of the islands is covered in a coat of purple heather and moorland, with patches of green, sandy soil found adjacent to the sea, known by their Gaelic name of “Machairs”. Fewer numbers of stock mean they are often left to roam large expanses, giving you a final meat product shaped by a combination of heather, open environment and fresh, sea air.

Heather Isles Meats will only source products from local crofters who have signed up to the Quality Meat Scotland farm assurance scheme.

A QMS certificate is well known in the industry, and means that farmers / crofters are duty-bound to adhere to the highest standards of animal husbandry and production. You can therefore be rest assured that Heather Isles Meats products only come from the best of backgrounds.

All our animals are processed locally in Stornoway at a small, fully approved, EU-licensed facility. All individual cuts will be vacuum-packed on the premises and packaged ready for despatch to your doorstep.
