  • Nine years ago this month we started building Station Park, an exciting new development for the farm. Our touring site welcomes caravans & motorhomes all year round with a choice of pitches generously spaced out. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the freedom of the farm with field walks available for your dog. Nine years later we are thrilled with our customer feedback and delighted to welcome new and returning visitors every year. Roll on those summer evenings enjoying your al fresco dining, the beautiful summer sunsets and all that East Lothian has to offer! . . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #stationpark #motorhomes #caravansites #familyholidays #timeaway #touringcaravansite #visiteastlothian #eastfortune #farmingfamily #diversification #transformationtuesday #localbusiness #brandslarder #visitscotland #LoveScotland

  • F A M I L Y Our greatest motivation! We’re there to cover each other while on February holiday but also more important when others fall ill. Thanks to all our friends & family that helped last week when Granny Brand was taken into hospital with a stroke 😢 a especial thanks to Jamie, John, Carolyn, Christine, Grandpa Donaldson & Doreen who all helped cover the shop & farm. Granny is recovering well and will hopefully be home this week 🤞💚 . #thebrandfamily #thebrandfamilyfarm #brandslarder #eastfortunefarm #eastfortune #itsafamilything #teamwork #whywearehere #farmingfamily

  • Running a business, helping out on the farm, keeping up with household chores and running around with the boys to take them to their after school activities means I need to be super organised with cooking. On nights where I’m going to be really pushed for time, I use the slow cooker to make dishes like this Sausage Casserole from @bbcgoodfood. It’s delicious with pasta, baked potatoes or bread - and of course we prefer it with our own sausages (gluten free also available). 2 red onions, finely chopped 1 celery stick, finely chopped 1-2 tbsp rapeseed oil 4 carrots, cut into fat pieces 12 chipolatas, each halved 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks 400g tin tomatoes 1 tbsp tomato purée or tomato and veg purée 1 thyme sprig 1 rosemary sprig 1 beef stock cube or stock pot Fry the onion and celery in the oil over a low heat until it starts to soften and cook, about 5 mins, then spoon it into the slow cooker. Fry the carrots briefly and add them too. Brown the sausages all over in the same frying pan – make sure they get a really good colour because they won’t get any browner in the slow cooker. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the sweet potato and tomatoes. Put the purée in the frying pan and add 250ml boiling water, swirl everything around to pick up every last bit of flavour, and tip the lot into the slow cooker. Add the herbs, stock cube and some pepper. Don’t add salt until the casserole is cooked as the stock can be quite salty. Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 8 hrs, then serve or leave to cool and freeze. . . . . #bbcfood #slowcooker #familymeals #familyfarm #localbusiness #brandeastfortune #farmersofInstagram #igersscotland #instascotland #yearofthepig #pigs #lovelocal #familybusiness #eastlothian #eastlothianfoodanddrink #buyscottish #buylocal #eatscottish #farmtotable #foodiefan #pork #foodinspiration #localproduce

  • During our filming session on Wednesday, there was lots of talk with @Tom_Kitchin about his passion for nature to plate, farm to fork and nose to tail. Using local suppliers gives him and his chefs a story to tell their customers - ie, true flavour, free range, traceability, high quality fresh meat from happy animals. All on a short supply chain knowing exactly where the animal was reared, and the care & attention the farmer has put in to produce this quality. Our Saddleback pigs and Hampshire Down sheep are not mass produced and have all these points (and more!). We get so much joy from selling direct to the buyer, rather than livestock markets, as we know chefs like Tom will create and delight their customers with wonderful dishes from every part of the animal. We’d love to hear from other local chefs and restaurateurs who share Tom’s ethos and would be interested in chatting to us about our lamb and pork. . . . . #tomkitchin #eatscottish #fromnaturetoplate #kitchingroup #madeinscotland #thekitchin #instascotland #eastlothianfoodanddrink #buylocal #localproduce #bonniebadger #gullane #knowyourfarmer #farmtotable #familybusiness #farmersofInstagram #familyfarm #farmers #thebrandfamily #eastlothian #visitscotland #lovelocal #buyscottish #homereared #saddlebackpigs #agriculturelife #hampshiredown #lambs #sheep

  • Thanks to you all for your suggestions for East Lothian’s best place for coffee and cake. We received so many ideas that we’ll be compiling a list and putting them out for a vote soon to create our Top 3. Next on the #eastlothiantop3 list are the best East Lothian beaches. We’re spoilt for choice in East Lothian - our caravanners definitely have plenty to choose from. We think our North Berwick holiday flat is in an enviable position with direct access to the West beach which, as a family, we love and have fond memories of walking from the harbour to Yellowcraigs beach.
