Welcome to Orkney Rose
Rose had fallen for Orkney for decades thanks to blissful childhood holidays spent on Orkney's beaches and up heathery hills (her grandfather was MP for 33 years for Orkney and Shetland). And in 2006 it was time to bring the finest produce it has to offer to others so that the wild flavour could be accessible to more than the lucky Orcadians.
The company represents about 20 local producers (it changes according to season) and brings the best down south - though not so much that there's none left in Orkney. It doesn't make sense for a butcher to send 4kgs of bacon to London when he/she has to pay £17 for the privilege so Orkney Rose helps make that journey make sense by shipping 4kg of bacon with 6kg of cheese, with a box of oatcakes and 12 Aberdeen Angus rumps and so on... (not all in the same box of course). It's a bit like an epicurean co-operative. We hope we have helped producers in Orkney make more sales without making their life more difficult, they just drop off the order and we take care of everything from there.
Please don't hesitate to contact us for the longer version of what we are, what we do and how we came to do it.
