Seton East farm shop outside Port Seton - just before the wee dual
carriageway that connects Prestonpans to Longniddry. I buy all my veg
there, they sell some really good local produce. At the right time of
year, the East Lothian carrots are magic.

There's one signposted on the South Queensferry turnoff on the A90.

Knowes just outside East Linton on the 'old' A1. Plus, you get to drive
around East Lothian, always a good thing. If you do try all the side roads,
there are signs now and again about fresh veg, eggs fruit etc.and less smog.

Of course there is always the good old Farmer's Market in Castle
Terrace. It's somewhat diminished recently due to the paving slabs in
the street getting changed and some trees uprooted, but it's still there
selling bread for about £2 a loaf and fish for something close to twice
the usual price.
The big pity is that the Arbroath Smokies people are no longer in
attendance due to some mealy-mouthed tossrag complaioning about the
smell - as if the smell of exhaust fumes and Jimmy Chungs are better.

On the other hand you can get excellent sausages much cheaper than the

Knowes just outside East Linton on the 'old' A1. Plus, you get to drive
around East Lothian, always a good thing. If you do try all the side roads,
there are signs now and again about fresh veg, eggs fruit etc.and less smog.

Of course there is always the good old Farmer's Market in Castle
Terrace. It's somewhat diminished recently due to the paving slabs in
the street getting changed and some trees uprooted, but it's still there
selling bread for about £2 a loaf and fish for something close to twice
the usual price.
The big pity is that the Arbroath Smokies people are no longer in
attendance due to some mealy-mouthed tossrag complaioning about the
smell - as if the smell of exhaust fumes and Jimmy Chungs are better.

Seton East farm shop outside Port Seton - just before the wee dual
carriageway that connects Prestonpans to Longniddry. I buy all my veg
there, they sell some really good local produce. At the right time of
year, the East Lothian carrots are magic.

On the other hand you can get excellent sausages much cheaper than the
supermarkets.

And you can sample the fine wares of the Black Isle Brewery, where they
take the purest water, the finest hops, the richest malt...and then run
it all through a sheep.

Seton East farm shop outside Port Seton - just before the wee dual
carriageway that connects Prestonpans to Longniddry. I buy all my veg
there, they sell some really good local produce. At the right time of
year, the East Lothian carrots are magic.

There's one signposted on the South Queensferry turnoff on the A90.
Never been there myself so I can't tell you what it's like.

Knowes just outside East Linton on the 'old' A1. Plus, you get to drive
around East Lothian, always a good thing. If you do try all the side roads,
there are signs now and again about fresh veg, eggs fruit etc.and less smog.

Not for long if everyone is driving around all the side roads looking
for these signs.

Of course there is always the good old Farmer's Market in Castle
Terrace. It's somewhat diminished recently due to the paving slabs in
the street getting changed and some trees uprooted, but it's still there
selling bread for about £2 a loaf and fish for something close to twice
the usual price.
The big pity is that the Arbroath Smokies people are no longer in
attendance due to some mealy-mouthed tossrag complaioning about the
smell - as if the smell of exhaust fumes and Jimmy Chungs are better.
