Castleton Farm is a successful family-run business growing and supplying fruit, manufacturing food products and running a café and farm shop. We produce the best traditional Scottish food, all grown, picked and processed on our family farm. Owned by Ross and Anna Mitchell, Castleton Farm lies in the heart of the Howe of the Mearns in Aberdeenshire. |

Our aim is to farm profitably, in an ethical and environmentally sustainable way. What makes us different is our blend of innovation and tradition. At Castleton, we’re about more than just fruit. Always looking to the future, we diversify and adapt as the food industry evolves. Our creative drive pushes us to explore exciting new markets and technologies. From diversifying into new fruit crops to pioneering new preserves like blueberry, port and orange chutney, we are continually trying out new ideas. This innovation and success has been built on a firm foundation of traditional values and methods. We are an agricultural business that takes its products right through to market, truly from field to fork. |

Being more northerly than many soft fruit growers, the combination of long daylight hours and a cooler Scottish climate allows the fruit to ripen slowly. This creates more sugars, producing a delicious sweet berry. We harvest fruit for nine months of the year, from the end of March right through to December. In fact, we believe we’re the only farm in the whole world that can pick fresh cherries in late September. Our raspberry harvest neatly falls between the peaks of the English summer and autumn fruiting seasons. And globally, we are the most northerly commercial blueberry farm. So we pick later in the season, filling the fresh blueberry “gap” when the rest of the northern hemisphere has finished production and as the southern hemisphere starts. We’ve got a lot going for us, and that’s before you consider the care and attention that goes into producing our soft fruit. |
