About us
At East Rhidorroch we think we can have a lifestyle and a business that doesn’t damage the environment. We try really hard to make the accommodation eco-friendly. We also raise organic sheep and cattle while growing trees and looking after the old Caledonian pine forest.

Volunteers
We have a lot of volunteers to help us with running the farm and the garden. They are part of the family and I am sure you'll meet some of them. If you would like to volunteer with us please apply through Workaway.
The Farm
We run an organic hill farm and produce beef and lamb.
The hill cattle are home bred Aberdeen Angus x Shorthorn x Galloway x Highland.
The sheep are pure North county Cheviot, small and hardy, they lamb in May and the lamb spend the whole summer on the hills before going over to the Black isle for the winter.
We keep a supply of beef, lamb and venison in the deep freeze if you would like some please let us know what you need.
