  • 1. Loch Arthur Farm Shop

    Founded by Rudolf Steiner, the Camphill farm community is built on shared experience and joint work, and its shop and café are an expression of those values. Loch Arthur sells a cornucopia of vegetables grown on the farm and the bakery offers its own bread, cakes, and high-quality cheeses and cold meats. The café building itself has large windows opening directly on to the fields beyond; on a nice day, you can eat outside.
