Appetite for Angus

⭐️ GOLDEN FORK WINNERS ⭐️

Earlier today, we popped in to see Nikcy and Alan of Sour Power Vinegars at their fabulous shop in Montrose, Vintage & Vinegars.

They recently took home the ultimate prize at the Great Taste Awards and brought the coveted Golden Fork award home to Angus!

Their Sicilian Blood Orange No Grief Aperitif was voted the top product in Scotland!

This lovely couple have been in business a little over 2 1/2 years and only opened their shop earlier this year. What an achievement in such a short period of time.

They are destined for great things and we are so delighted to have them as members and ambassadors of Angus.

Their shop is a beautifully curated collection of antiques, curiosities, food products and gifts. It’s a delight to visit.

Well done Nikcy & Alan, and thanks for bringing the Golden Fork to Angus 👏🏻

🍓 A pleasure to welcome Angus soft fruit representatives to The Scottish Parliament to watch my debate.

🤝 Thanks to Agriculture Minister Jim Fairlie SNP for meeting with us.

📈 Berries are woven into Angus's heritage and I want to ensure they remain a vital part of Scotland's economy.

🍓 We were delighted to be invited to The Scottish Parliament by Lloyd Melville MSP to attend his debate on the importance of the Angus Berry Industry. Our Angus Berry Trail, and the work we have done to promote the history and heritage of Angus Berries was discussed during our time with Jim Fairlie SNP before the debate.

It was fantastic to hear our members Balhungie Berry Farm and Charleton Fruit Farm mentioned in parliament for the amazing work they do to celebrate and promote the soft fruits of Angus.

Fabulous to spend time with our valued member and Berry Trail supporters, Angus Soft Fruits, The Berry Specialists. 🍓

There’s still time to pick your own strawberries at Charleton Fruit Farm!

Stock up the freezer or make some tasty jam, so you can enjoy a taste of Angus berries throughout the winter months.
