Ella's Croft is a family run, environmentally conscious Market Garden and free range egg business, located on the North end of the Isle of Skye. We grow a wide variety of vegetables, including varieties never found in the supermarket. Most produce is harvested and handed to the customer within the space of a few hours. All our vegetables are grown free from pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilisers.

For many years we ran a vegetarian cafe nearby and wanted to use fresh, local vegetables on our menu. Finding it difficult to access a year round supply of salad I began growing leaves and some vegetables in a large greenhouse on our croft. Building on this skill we have expanded our growing area to include a large net tunnel, a poly tunnel, some standard ploughed areas and numerous raised beds.

In 2021 we trialled a "Veg Bag" scheme – customers paid a subscription and received a weekly selection of seasonal vegetables, chosen by us, harvested on the day of collection.

Customers in 2021 had these kind words to say:

“Since moving to Skye we have been trying to find more locally sourced food and when Ella and Dom started the weekly veggie box we were really keen to try it. Every week we look forward to collecting our box of seasonal produce and really enjoy the variety. The vegetables are delicious and allow us to make a variety of meals. We also get eggs from their free range chickens that have now become known as Croft eggs in our house. They are also delicious. Can’t wait til our subscription starts up again. Thank you.”

"I was fortunate to participate in Ella’s trial run for the vegetable-bag scheme. It was such a pleasure to have fresh, in-season, organic produce every week – a wide range, including both tried-and-true varieties and some really different ones. In our house the giant yellow tomatoes were a particular favourite! A nice touch late in the season was a hand-out with the bag, offering recipes and suggestions about what to do with some lesser-known squashes, sprouts, and root veg. Having been to the croft, I’ve seen Ella’s operation first-hand. She has an amazing knack for growing things, which is enhanced by the knowledgeable, meticulous planning put into every aspect of the operation. I highly recommend her delicious produce, reliable service, and helpful communication. I’m definitely on board for another year!"
