Just thought I'd pass on what I saw in Ellon T*sco tonight.
Where the free range chicken should be there was a sign saying that they were sorry, but due to the high demand for free range chicken since the channel 4 programme they couldn't keep up with demand and were sourcing more free range chicken as soon as they could (or words to that effect as I was slightly distracted by chatty customer  )

i buy really good free range chickens from 'the farm shop' at foveran. they are from a farm in banchory.
i found the lady there really helpful and she explained where everything in the shop came from and the was they produce the beef which they sell in the shop also. |

If you are ever down my way, Carnoustie/Arbroath there is a good farm shop called Milton Haugh that has free range organic and locally produced chickens. They sell locally produced beef, pork and venison too, I think. They do the farmers markets in Montrose and Forfar too. | ||

I killed one of our cockerels yesterday afternoon after it attacked our best layer. The meat's a lovely colour and I'm really looking forward to eating it.
But I'm not selling it, so that doesn't really help, does it?

Oh no, really? That's where I get (got) my chicken from although I haven't for a couple of months.
Any reason why they have closed? |

That IS a shame :-( | ||

Yes, falling demand, current economic crisis etc etc etc. They are assessing the Christmas market and may do the Turkeys etc then. |

sottish producers - free range chicken29 Jan message mentioned butcher in Stuartfield.I'm lucky enough to live nearby. Butcher is Euan Morrice and he only sells free range. All his pork is rare breed and the pigs are raised 3 miles from the shop. Cant recommend his meat too much. |

In town in Aberdeen the butcher on Chattan Place has free range chicken, says they are from Coupar Angus so a wee bit away. Maryfield used to supply them. | ||
