Islesburgh Farm. Shetland

Margaret and Addie Doull have run Islesburgh farm for the past 36 years.

Of the 430ha unit, only 20ha is not converted to Organic production and that portion is used to produce silage for the 20 head of conventional Shetland cattle.

They have had full organic status since 2002, and run a flock of 380 native Shetland sheep and 120 Shetland X Cheviots. Fat lambs go the local slaughterhouse.

Islesburgh farm sheepAddie and Margaret are renowned for the quality of their fine Shetland fleeces, regularly picking up prizes at local shows and the Royal Highland Show, Edinburgh.
