Lanarkshire is renowned for its rich grazing pastures which means quality sheep and cow’s milk which is used to produce fantastic cheeses and flavoured milk shakes. Much of the regions milk goes into making some of the country’s best ice cream.

The Clyde Valley, once the fruit basket of Scotland is beginning to bear fruit once again. With only a few commercial fruit producers left in the area, the fruit now finds its way to numerous local shops and farmers' markets. Nothing tastes better than locally grown fruit and vegetables.
