Greetings!
Is it an age thing or does Christmas seem to be earlier this year....! Whatever it is we are really well prepared this year, Christmas stock was all ordered back in June, a new snow plough for our big tractor was delivered in July, we are ready for what ever is thrown at us! |

2. We all hate that credit card bill in January, so why not start saving towards your Christmas order now, and save up to 15%.
Ask our butcher about his Christmas Club the next time you are in.

Christmas Events
We have a busy couple of months on the lead up to Christmas, keep an eye out on our website for any updates.
It all starts with our very popular Christmas tasting weekend on the 5th and 6th November. When I say popular, it is not popular with our cafe staff as they are always quiet and the shop team are very busy giving customers samples of some of the most delicious Christmas fayre.
Santa is coming on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th December. Why not treat your kids to a magical Craigie's Family breakfast with Santa? £7.50 per child inc present, Mums and Dads only £5 includes breakfast. To book Click here

News from Puddledub
This is always a very busy time of year for us on the farm. The cattle and buffalo are settling into the winter accommodation and we are excited to be christening a new shed which has been built to accommodate our expanding herds. First impressions are that the buffalo definitely approve!
We now have the Tups out with the Jacob ewes and judging by the number of keel marks they seem to be doing there job well so hopefully lots of lambs come spring.
This is also the time of year that I try to buy our store Aberdeen Angus calves from the market which we will grow on for next years stock for the shop. Its one of my favourite jobs until it comes time to write the cheque to pay for them!
I would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers for the fantastic support the butcher counter has received at Cragies so far this year and also Robert and Paul for all there hard work they have put in to making sure our produce is displayed and presented in keeping with the high standards it produced. As the producer it definitely makes you feel that going that little bit extra to maximise the quality has been worthwhile.

The last time we bought a new snow plough it never got used in anger for 8 years, so hopefully this will be the case for the new one we bought in July!
