Isle of Mull Cheese Farm Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A farm shop where you can mix and match shopping with lunch! Indulge in the Glass Barn caf\u00e9, a beautiful setting filled with vines, then wander on through to the rustic chic style farm shop. From cheddar to blues, get your cheese fix here, along with Island Bakery biscuits, gin made from whey in the Sgiob-ruadh Distillery and an ever-changing selection of farm-reared meat too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tobermory Fish Co<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the top of town with easy parking at Baliscate, the Tobermory Fish Co awaits to meet your seafood needs. From the catch of the day to mussels and langoustines, to their excellent hot and cold smoked salmons, you won\u2019t be disappointed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Plan
The Main Street of Tobermory, home to local producer’s and the market too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Tobermory Stores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tucked at the top of the Main Street, a visit to Tobermory Stores is a must \u2013 particularly at lunchtime, when you can combine your shopping with a delicious, freshly-prepared toastie. Expect to find locally grown fruit and vegetables in season from Glengorm Gardens, along with a great selection of island-produced meat and cheese in the fridges too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Island Meats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based at Nonhebel Park just outside Tobermory, Island Meats are open a select few days each week and are the closest thing to a butcher\u2019s shop here on Mull. Call in during open hours for a great range of local meat and game from the estates, crofts and hill farms of Mull, plus excellent advice for how best to cook them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loch Spelve on the island’s south coast, where Inverlussa Mussels are based.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inverlussa Mussels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep an eye out for the roadside sign indicating the honesty box of mussels is full! Have a bag of ice ready and pick up some of the best mussels you\u2019ll taste, farmed in the waters of Loch Spelve just across the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old Post Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now in the timber-clad, red-roofed building by the shore of Lochbuie, the Old Post Office caf\u00e9 also keeps a couple of fridges stocked with seasonal produce from the Lochbuie Estate, as well as their home-cooked ready meals. A great way to discover local flavours and ingredients, without doing the cooking yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lazy Cow Caf\u00e9 and Farm Shop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ross of Mull has strong crofting roots and the Lazy Cow caf\u00e9, just by the Kintra road end near Fionnphort, brings this to the fore. Enjoy lunch or cake in the barn caf\u00e9, then browse the fridges for some croft-grown produce to inspire your evening meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producer\u2019s Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tobermory has a weekly Producer\u2019s Market on a Monday during the main season, held by the pontoons on the harbourfront, or inside in the Aros Hall during inclement weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find a great range of local vendors here, with a changing selection that features, locally raised meat and produce, honey, fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, home baking, sourdough bread and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an eye out for the monthly market in Craignure Village Hall too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
