Jobs created as popular Fife farm shop unveils expansion plan
A Fife farm shop is expanding its award winning butchery to meet growing demand from customers.
The facility at Balgove Larder will more than double in size and include an upgraded storeroom. The investment will also create around four additional jobs to the existing eight-strong butchery team.
The move will increase production capacity, improve efficiency in deliveries and stock management, and allow the butchery team more space to process and house more of the estate’s own reared meat.
Balgove Larder is based at Strathtyrum Estate by St Andrews, and is particularly known for its high quality meat, traditionally butchered by their skilled in-house team.
The butchery counter takes centre stage in the shop and also supplies their popular Steak Barn restaurant.
The butcher at Balgove Larder has also been named a finalist in this year’s Countryside Alliance Best Butcher in Scotland award, recognising the skill, consistency, and quality of the team. The winner will be announced in May. The site has grown to include a farm shop, steak barn, butchery, garden shed, homestore, café and the eat out takeaway hut.
