Our sausages and black pudding come from Findlay’s Butchers in Portobello. They are a family run Butchers who are still independently owned and have been running since 1974. The pork for the black pudding and sausages is selected from Hillfoot Farm in Hawick that rears free range animals.

 

Straven uses Scottish butter and milk for all uses.  We get Croft Farm organic free range eggs where the hens are truly free range feeding on clover rich organic fields.  This is a family run farm on the edge of the Pentland hills.

 

Straven makes its own preserves. The oranges are not locally grown! However the berries are Scottish strawberries or the even more locally grown plums from our own plum tree. We are very lucky to have delicious honey in our Bircher oats, chilled porridge and granola which is from Ayrshire beekeepers in Ochiltree
