Thorneybank Farm Shop

**Thorneybank Farm Shop: Where Generations Grow Goodness**

Since the 1970s, Thorneybank Farm Shop has been a quiet Aberdeenshire secret—a place where the soil’s richness meets the care of skilled hands. Nestled in Lower Thorneybank, this family-run farm shop delivers the freshest local produce, picked daily and baked with pride. Here, three generations of the Stephen family work side by side, turning tradition into something you can taste.

Walk in, and you’ll find shelves lined with vegetables pulled straight from the field, their vibrancy a testament to Aberdeenshire’s fertile land. Catherine Stephen’s legendary shortbread—crisp, buttery, and meltingly tender—has earned a global following, yet it’s made just as it always has been: in-house, with patience and precision. Every loaf, every pastry, every crisp apple reflects a simple truth: when food is grown and prepared by those who love it, quality speaks for itself.

Thorneybank isn’t just a farm shop; it’s a living legacy. The rhythm of planting and harvest guides their days, and that connection to the land shines in every product they offer. Visitors don’t just buy groceries—they take home a piece of Aberdeenshire’s heart, wrapped in paper or piled into baskets.

Come for the freshest seasonal produce in the region. Stay for the warmth of a family who knows that good food begins with respect—for the soil, the craft, and the people they serve. Open daily. Taste the difference generations make.
