We should point out however, that some of the products are seasonal, and may not be available, either for the duration of your visit or just when you arrive, in this case we will fully refund you for these items.

Shetland Farm Dairies

Shetland Farm Daires Ltd. was formed in 1994 when dairy farmers in Shetland bought the company after the previous owner, Kennerty, was taken over by Robert Wiseman Dairies. The six remaining dairy farms in Shetland today each have a share allocation equating to their individual quota holding and a seat on the Board of Directors. Daily collection from the farms ensures that milk is always fresh. Samples are taken from each farm, and at various points throughout processing to maintain a high standard of milk.

Walls Bakery

Walls Bakery was taken over by Charles and Angela Hodge in 1988. At that time the bakery was housed in an old, converted, church. Conditions were cramped and, as a consequence, the product range was limited. With the help of the local council, a new bakery was built in 1992, designed to the latest European hygiene standards. Product output and range subsequently increased. In 2004 a tea room and tourist information point was opened above the Bakery.

Valhalla Brewery

The Valhalla Brewery was opened in December 1997 by husband and wife team, Sonny and Sylvia Priest. The brewery is named after the hall in the celestial regions, home of the Norse god Odin, where slain Viking warriors were borne, to be revived by a horn full of ale. So there was no better choice of name for the brewery, as Shetland is steeped in Viking history. Guided tours are available at the brewery where they also bottle and label there bottles.
