The Grass to Grill tours are designed to explain Balcaskie Estate’s progress with regenerative farming methods in an immersive and interactive way. The safari-trailer will transport you around the beautiful landscape of the East Neuk to visit different points of interest including our livestock, crops, woodland and wildlife habitats. Introducing each topic will be the land workers and farmers who put their heart and soul into producing food and caring for the natural environment. When we return to Bowhouse, you will be introduced to the Butchery team, to show the care and expertise that our sustainable, grass-reared meat receives. All guests will then gather together for a relaxed, long-table feast which will include local, seasonal produce from the Estate – including meat from our Butchery, veg from East Neuk Market Garden and flatbreads from Baern Bakery. There is some walking on rough terrain expected as part of the tour experience. Please get in touch if you have any issues with accessibility prior to booking tickets. It is essential you let us know of any food allergies or requirements when booking.
