When Ann and Colin Millar decided to retire in 2012, many in Inverurie worried about the future of this independent wholefood shop. Fortunately John and Connie Sorrie, producers of Scotland’s original cold-pressed rapeseed oil, Ola Oil, stepped in. They renovated the store, but kept the soul, using their links with other small-scale suppliers to add to the range of Fair Trade, organic and local foodstuffs. They continue to stock some of the best food and drink Aberdeen- shire has to offer, including cakes and bakes, cheeses, preserves, and freshly pressed juices, as well as their own recipe sausages made by Presly of Oldmeldrum, and also provide a popular fruit and veg box delivery scheme.
