OUR STORY
Family-Owned Business
A Farm for All to Enjoy
Farm Ness is a family-friendly destination where visitors can explore, play, and meet our animals. From grooming goats and feeding Highland cows to cuddling bunnies, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
A Legacy of Farming Excellence
The Fraser family have tenanted the land here since the 1930s. Today, Donald Fraser and Joanna MacGregor continue the tradition, offering fresh, locally produced food and a warm, hands-on farm experience.
Our 3,000-acre farm includes:
-
250 acres of malting barley
-
A herd of 200 commercial cows
-
A growing fold of Highland cattle
-
800 sheep
-
Alpacas, pygmy goats, Shetland ponies, and more!
Our beef is raised on the lush pastures surrounding Loch Ness—rich in flavour and available to buy in our Farm Shop.
Our Commitment to Regenerative Farming
We’re passionate about regenerative agriculture—enriching our land with wildflowers, ponds, hedgerows, and trees. As part of Scotland’s first-ever Environmental Cluster, we proudly collaborate with neighbouring farms to promote sustainability and biodiversity.
Thank You
Thank you for supporting Farm Ness. Every visit helps us reinvest in our vision—creating a thriving, sustainable business in the Highlands. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

BBC 'THIS FARMING LIFE'
A Magical Experience with BBC’s This Farming Life
Being featured on BBC 2's This Farming Life was a truly magical experience for us. The camera crew quickly became friends, and it was exciting to see our everyday life captured and shared with viewers.
Donald's favourite moment was when Steven filmed him in the shop loading the freezers with meat, all while there was a flurry of activity in the background—joiners working, an electrician at work, and Kevin from Inverness Coffee Roasting giving coffee demos. It was a chaotic yet exciting scene!
Joanna’s favourite memory was the early mornings spent in the lambing shed. While it may have looked like she was alone on screen, she was actually surrounded by the all-female TV crew, and the "executive decisions" were more of a group effort than it appeared!
