Door step delivery in difficult times

INDEPENDENT salmon farmer Loch Duart may replace markets lost through the coronavirus lockdown with direct deliveries.

The company, which farms in Sutherland and the Hebrides, launched a survey last month asking customers if they would be interested in a home delivery service.

On its Facebook site, Loch Duart said: ‘As you will understand, many people are facing challenges in purchasing fresh produce in these difficult times.

‘That’s why we’re asking you if there’s any way we can make it easier for you to buy Loch Duart salmon.

‘Please take a few moments to fill in our short survey about how you could buy Loch Duart salmon. We’d love to hear from you, and this should only take a few moments!’

The deadline for the survey has now closed and the Loch Duart team has been meeting on Zoom to assess the results.
