Orkney Products

Home production is an important part of Orkney life and the fantastic natural environment is key to its success.

It makes sense to produce food and drink here on the islands rather than import everything.  Luckily Orkney’s wonderful seas produce tasty fish which is envied and exported across the world, its lush pastures are perfect for dairy cows and meat production and the long summer daylight and clean air are boosts for vegetables and fruit growing.

That same light and natural beauty has inspired artists, craftspeople, photographers and jewellers to create beautiful, world-renowned objects of art.
