点评:For anyone touring Mull, this is a ‘must see’.
The website is easy to navigate and informative; we were able to book a tour easily. The turning for the farm was well signposted and there were plenty of parking spaces (although we did arrive early, just before opening and it was busy as we left at around 12.30).
On arrival and entering the Glass Barn, housing the cafe and shop, we were warmly invited in and impressed by the beautiful surroundings. The log burner, vintage furniture and delicious array of cakes were a welcome sight, but it was the vines that climbed the glass structure that made this feel like such a unique place to enjoy ‘tea and a piece’ while we waited the time of our tour. Service was polite and efficient, and the tea and cake very nice indeed.
Our tour, which lasted an hour and a half to two hours, was, quite simply, outstanding and well worth the money. Our guide, was friendly, buzzing with enthusiasm and incredibly knowledgeable as he shared the fascinating history of the farm and the processes that led to the creation of their cheese and alcoholic products. We were able to see every aspect of the process, how the farm utilised innovative technology and even pet the animals! The tour ended with a tasting session where we were able to sample their amazing produce…which we were able to purchase from the shop later (at a discount as we’d been on the tour).
We had a wonderful day, but, more importantly, left knowing that by visiting and buying the fabulous products on offer, we had supported a business that had sustainability, animal welfare and the needs of the community at its very heart.

网站导航清晰,信息丰富;我们很轻松地预订了行程。农场的转弯处路标清晰,停车位充足(虽然我们到得早,刚好赶在农场开门前,大约12:30离开时,车位很挤)。
抵达后,我们走进玻璃谷仓,里面有咖啡馆和商店,热情的款待令我们印象深刻,美丽的环境也让我们印象深刻。燃木壁炉、复古家具和琳琅满目的美味蛋糕令人赏心悦目,但真正让这里感觉如此独特的,是攀爬在玻璃结构上的葡萄藤,让我们在等待参观时间的同时,可以在这里享受“茶点”。服务礼貌高效,茶和蛋糕也非常美味。
我们的旅程持续了一个半到两个小时,非常精彩,物超所值。我们的导游热情友好,知识渊博,向我们讲述了农场引人入胜的历史,以及他们制作奶酪和酒类产品的整个过程。我们亲眼目睹了农场生产过程的方方面面,了解了他们如何运用创新技术,甚至还抚摸了农场里的动物!旅程以品鉴环节结束,我们品尝了农场令人惊叹的农产品……之后还可以从商店购买(因为之前参观过,所以价格比较便宜)。
我们度过了美好的一天,但更重要的是,我们离开时意识到,通过参观和购买农场提供的优质产品,我们支持了一家以可持续发展、动物福利和社区需求为核心的企业。
