Whats Orkney Rose then?
Orkney Rose is a company that brings Orkney produce to London. Its founder Rose Grimond has visited Orkney all her life. Her father grew up there and also in London because his father, Jo Grimond, was MP for Orkney and Shetland for 33 years. This is what you should know about it: • Orkney Rose wants to provide customers with high-quality food that is not mass produced. The idea behind the company is to enable Orcadian producers to access the London market. Because the producers are on the whole small businesses, without the infrastructure provided by Orkney Rose, it would not be a worthwhile venture to ship goods to London individually. Coupled with the limitations of season and supply many businesses have rightfully never sold to London before. By representing a number of companies, Orkney Rose hopes to be able to provide customers in London with plenty of salmon in the week when the weather was too rough to dive for scallops, or rare breed mutton when the lambing season finishes.
