Taybank Growers Cooperative Description
Taybank Growers Co-operative is run by Jonny Agnew, Dave Shand and Roz Corbett. We set up the market garden at Blackhaugh Farm on the edge of the village of Spittalfield in Perthshire in the spring of 2017.
We sell delicious, healthy veg, which you can pick up direct from our farm gate or Mitchells Newsagent and Blairgowrie Farm Shop

20 tonnes of green waste compost thanks to Graeme Leslie. Driver of the 8 wheeler truck got all the way along the muddy field. What a hero! #marketgarden #localfood #vegbox

We have two veg boxes going spare. If anyone can pick one up from the farm it's yours for £5. That's half price! #vegbox #localfood #marketgarden #blackhaughfarm
A (small) chunk has been used from our squash and pumpkin mountain. Come along to our wee farm shop and pick some up! Delicious roasted or in soup. #localfood #taybankgrowerscoop #marketgarden
Our uchiki kuri squash made into a puree and served with pigeon by the talented chefs @meikleourarms #localfood #marketgarden #blackhaughfarm
After a whole season in the sun we finally put the sides of our polytunnel down. It's now drum tight. Very satisfying. #localfood #polytunnel #marketgarden
