Balcaskie is a modern, working Estate in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife.

Our organic farm uses regenerative principals, working with nature to enhance our landscape & biodiversity. Alongside our regenerative farming, we operate an on-site Butchery, commercial and residential properties, and Bowhouse – a gathering place for people who really care about where food comes from.

Core to our core values at Balcaskie are helping to develop a vibrant food industry which celebrate both the quality of raw ingredients and the passion of its producers at Bowhouse.

The Trailer

Our safari trailer provides the best way to get around the farm. Pulled by a tractor, your clients can look out across the beautiful landscape of the East Neuk as we move around the Estate.

  • Maximum capacity – 40 people
  • Fully covered with a roof
  • Seatbelts included
  • Accessibility – 1 wheelchair space and ramp access

Butchery

The aim of our Butchery is simple, to produce the best possible tasting meat, which reminds people how good it can be.

Starting with only the best animals, hand picked from the Estate, organic and pasture fed.

The meat is then expertly hung and butchered at Bowhouse, taking the time to get the best out of every piece.

The Butchery can offer talks, demos and classes for small groups.

Please get in touch for more information.

Food & Drink

Our custom built BBQ brings visitors senses alive with sights, smells and sounds. The chefs will grill up a storm for your clients on the open flames, giving the meat smokey, chargrilled flavours.

Specific meats can be cooked on request, otherwise guests can expect a variety of cuts including beef rump and leg of lamb. We cook to the season and what is at its best.

All the food we serve with the BBQ has been sourced locally – most within the small businesses on the Estate.
