Hello!
The Farm Retail Association is a great resource.

Farm Shop
Crafting
Making and / or selling traditional goods either through existing retailers or via a new outlet can be an exciting diversification. Visit Craft Scotland or Scottish Indigenous Craft for inspriation.

Vending Machines
Machines can be a great way to sell seasonal fruit and veg while you do something else! A 28 compartment vending machine costs around £8,000. A well-placed vending machine will pay itself off in around 12 months.
