A bit about Evy Koutzas (from Evy):

My yoga teacher trainings and experience include power vinyasa, restorative, and yin yoga, with additional certification as a mobility specialist.

As a teacher, I strive to provide an inclusive and supportive environment- a place for people to gather, move, breathe, feel, and explore together. Spaces with a sense of community and belonging, with a heartfelt invitation for students to get curious about how their body moves and to explore a balance between effort and ease. Sometimes playful, other times precise and focused, others soft and gentle, I guide practice asking students to listen to their own body and move in ways that feel nourishing for them.

PICK-UPS FOR PEACE FUNDRAISING DINNER

PICK-UPS FOR PEACE FUNDRAISING DINNER

Pickups For Peace Fundraising Dinner

Friday 2nd of October, 7pm- 10pm-ish

£75

An evening raising much needed funds to support the work of Pickups for Peace (P4P), a charity dedicated to supplying four- wheel drive vehicles and urgently required aid to the people of Ukraine.

Join us for an evening of delicious food, great conversation and for a wonderful cause.

Beautiful sharing boards of steaks, homegrown salads and other delights, followed by a very tasty pudding.

Chefs Harris McNeill (Eastfield, Dundee) and Iain Broadhead (Little Trochry Farm) will be in charge of the coals and the hobs for the evening- so expect delicious things.

To date, the charity has delivered 907 4WD vehicles in 29 convoys, including crew cabs, ambulances & quad bikes loaded with essential humanitarian aid to support those most in need. But they're not stopping there - the people of Ukraine need our support more than ever.

Through the close links forged since 2022, P4P have established that these types of vehicle make a significant contribution to saving lives, and it is estimated that each vehicle delivered saves up to 10 lives - so, over 9000 lives saved by your generosity.

If you have one- come in your most interesting 4x4. We will have both the Series 1 Landrover and 101 Forward Control available for runs.

After dinner the evening will conclude with an auction hosted by TV presenter Simon Biagi who accompanied Richard and Archie on Convoy 24. Donations so far include: holiday cottages , interesting whisky, autographed British Lions rugby tops, a glamping mini break and more.

Guardswell is happy to host this evening for P4P (Pickups For Peace), supporting Richard Lamotte and Archie Gibson in their fundraising efforts.

All proceeds will go to the charity- with produce on the night being donated.

Very casual attire.

Bar available with a mix of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks.

Thank you for your generosity.

Every donation helps get life-saving aid to those most in need.

In order to purchase a ticket- please follow a link to our JustGiving page- to ensure that all of the money raised goes straight to the charity with the option to add GiftAid.

Each ticket is £75 for a seat at the dinner. Please leave a donation of at least £75 as well as your name and contact details (this can be done privately) so that we can contact you in advance of the dinner. If you have any allergies, we would really appreciate it if you could let us know in advance

We so appreciate all of your support in fundraising for this cause.

GEMMA DALLYN + GREAT GLEN CHARCUTERIE FIRE DINNER
Oct

GEMMA DALLYN + GREAT GLEN CHARCUTERIE FIRE DINNER

GEMMA DALLYN + GREAT GLEN CHARCUTERIE FIRE DINNER
£75.00

Gemma Dallyn’s cooking is grounded in seasonality, a nose to tail philosophy, and a deep respect for exceptional produce, often brought to life over wood fire. Raised on her family's farm on the Exmoor coast, her connection to land and sea instilled a lasting appreciation for provenance, sustainability, and the natural rhythms of the seasons. Now based in Perthshire, Gemma creates intimate, ingredient-led dining experiences inspired by the Scottish landscape. Through supper clubs, collaborative events, and independent food projects, she celebrates local provenance, preservation through the hungry gap, and the close relationships between growers, producers, and cooks. Her approach is generous and thoughtful, bringing people together through food that reflects place, season and community.

For this special collaboration at Guardswell Farm, Gemma will create a menu cooked over flames that celebrates Great Glen Charcuterie, the family business of Anja and Jan Jacob Baak, based in the Scottish Highlands. They make their charcuterie using locally sourced wild venison, carefully cured to bring out the best of this exceptional ingredient.

Wild venison is one of Scotland's most sustainable foods, with the deer roaming freely across the Highlands. Their charcuterie reflects the landscape it comes from and their commitment to producing simple, honest products with care and respect.

During the evening, Anja Baak will share the story behind Great Glen Charcuterie, from how it all began to the traditional methods they still use today, offering an insight into the craft, provenance and passion behind every slice.

Every dish for this collaboration will contain meat, so sadly we wont be able to accommodate Vegetarian, Pescatarian or Vegan requests. With prior arrangement we will be able to accommodate some allergens & intolerances.

Tickets include seasonal welcome bites, a three course dining experience, and a curated producer’s gift to take home and remember the evening.

SPOON CARVING WITH LOUISE FORBES.

SPOON CARVING WITH LOUISE FORBES - 6th SEPTEMBER
£90.00

Sunday 6th September : 10.00-16.00

It’s hard to describe the pleasure you get from stirring something with your own kitchen spoon, sprinkling sugar on strawberries from a wooden teaspoon carved by yourself, or even just sitting and rubbing your thumb over the bowl of something that you lovingly spent hours crafting. Whether its a stirring spoon or a coffee scoop... you'll leave with something you'll love forever.

We have managed to pin down the amazing Louise Forbes, of Louise Forbes design fame, to run another Spoon Carving day course at Guardswell Farm. It will be a jolly affair with happy chatter, all tools and materials provided...and you'll leave with a spoon that you carved yourself!

We'll also break for a Cart Shed Kitchen lunch to ensure that tummies are not left rumbling...as well as tea and coffee flowing throughout the day.

GUARDSWELL PRODUCE MARKET

GUARDSWELL PRODUCE MARKET

Our low-waste produce market are back and the perfect answer to your one-stop, local, weekly shop. Dates for our market series are:

Wednesday 6th May

Wednesday 1st July

Wednesday 2nd September

3pm-7pm

Whether you work all week, work all weekend or care for another individual - thinking about what you eat, and where it comes from, has to fit around your schedule. Whether we like it or not, attitudes have changed in Britain over the last few decades that have created a disconnect between shopper and the food they are purchasing.

Our 'busy' lives and shrinking budget allocation for food is pushing us towards mass retail at unsustainable prices (for both shoppers and producers), often grown in unsustainable ways, with vast waste and use of packaging.

As much as we try to shop 'local' ourselves, the above could not be more true - we find ourselves having the time to do a 'weekly' shop in the evenings, usually on a week night - and at times when the local green grocers or butchers are no longer open.

Now, this is obviously not true for everyone - an urban individual keen to support smaller retailers can nip out in the lunch break - but as a rural dweller and worker, this isn't quite as easy - incongruous as this may sound. Surely being surrounded by agriculture, we should be the ones who can get our hands on the produce the easiest, and have the closest connection to it.

Come along to our markets and you'll find everything you need for a weekly shop (and pop stuff in the freezer so you have it for longer!) from fruit, veg to bread and brownies, all of the basics and a treat or two.

Please remember to bring your own shopping bags and containers.

ROOTS + BOUNDARIES: HEDGELAYING FOR NATURE-FRIENDLY FARMS
Feb

ROOTS + BOUNDARIES: HEDGELAYING FOR NATURE-FRIENDLY FARMS

Learn practical skills in hedge laying, tool use, and habitat-friendly farm boundary management on a working, nature-friendly farm.

We are delighted to be partnering with Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) to bring you Roots & Boundaries - a hands-on hedgelaying training day at Guardswell Farm. Join expert hedgelayer Torquil Varty for a full day of practical learning designed for farmers, land managers, and stewards who will actively use these skills on the land.

Through demonstrations and supervised practice, participants will gain confidence in laying a hedge in a regional style, while mastering essential techniques in tool use, hedge preparation, finishing, and aftercare. The course also covers the wider benefits of hedgelaying: supporting biodiversity, improving habitat connectivity, storing carbon, and offering economic advantages such as reduced fencing costs and eligibility for agri-environment support.

With a small-group format (maximum 10 participants), the day encourages peer learning, skill sharing, and practical discussion on integrating hedgelaying into modern, nature-friendly farming systems. A lunch is provided, and the course takes place on the working, nature-friendly Guardswell Farm.

Torquil Varty

Based in Angus, Torquil runs Angus Boundaries, a specialist business dedicated to the restoration and care of traditional field boundaries. With more than 25 years of hedgelaying experience, he has worked across a huge variety of farms and habitats, helping land managers bring neglected hedges back into productive, wildlife-rich condition.

Hot lunch included. 

FREE and open to farmers, crofters, growers and land managers. Booking required.
