Are you considering agritourism? Or a new rural tourism business? Or rural food and drink business?

Starting at Macbeth’s Butchers which is a family run business that provides high quality meat products throughout the UK.

In the main, the beef is provided from their own farm, Edinvale, in upland Moray where they rear traditional Scottish native breeds. These are reared in as an extensive, natural environment as possible being fed grass, home grown hay or silage and no growth promoters. Macbeth's also supply a full range of pork and lamb from local farms with a similar philosophy. Macbeth's venison and game is also sourced locally.

The Moray Wellbeing Hub project needs your ideas on what works for you, and those you care about, to live life to the full. They aim to create new community and virtual spaces that welcome everyone to live more mentally healthy lives, as well as support existing ones to connect and grow, reaching out across Moray to diverse communities and groups.
