Despite only opening one year before the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Angus and Emma Smith’s farm shop and cafe has been a success, and they attribute a lot of that to the building.
Having been inspired by a rural farm shop they had lived near in Perthshire, Angus and Emma decided to set up their own business on their sheep farm, and were set on a striking oak framed barn for their new venue.
