Yesterday I had my first strawberries of this year from Halkirk, what a treat they were.
I've been buying supermarket strawbs since the UK ones came in and they have been okay but I have to say the Halkirk ones are the Rolls Royce of Strawberries; such quality, and they are grown here in Caithness!!
Where do you buy them from ?
Last season Mackay butcher and Bews butchers, both in Thurso. They were delicious!!
can you buy them in Wick anywhere??

I take it we are talking about Wick ?
Wick have the market, Thurso uses the butchers shops as speciality outlets.
How come Thurso doesn't have a market?
Was there one in the past ?

You can buy them in the Halkirk Spar
Fish bowl in Thurso had raspberries and strawberries for sale from Halkirk
