When the great Harris institution that was Tarbert Stores closed its doors for the last time, a huge gap was left in the market. Following a number of approaches from the community, we started stocking a small range of livestock feeds at the Recycling Site at Urgha. For the four or five winter months, crofters are grateful of a local stockholding of feed – saving the 70 mile round trip to Stornoway or the punitive delivery charges.

As time has moved on, the product range has grown in response to local demand. The first bad winter spell of weather that prevented the coal man making deliveries to Harris, prompted us to carry a stock of wood briquettes.
