We are thrilled to announce that Castleton Farm has proudly taken home two major awards at the prestigious 2025 North East Scotland Food & Drink Awards.
These awards celebrate the outstanding talent, innovation, and quality within the Scottish food and drink sector, and we are honoured to be recognised among the region’s leading producers.
Best New Product: Castleton Farm Hemp Oil Mayonnaise
Our award-winning Hemp Oil Mayonnaise has been crowned Best New Product (Medium to Large Business). The judges praised our product for its health-focused innovation, noting:
“Our winner’s attention to the health benefits really make this product stand out, creating a product that is new and different to other market alternatives.”
Packed with natural goodness and made using cold-pressed hemp oil grown right here in Scotland, our mayonnaise offers a nutritious, delicious alternative to traditional condiments. We are passionate about creating high-quality, locally made products that support healthy living – and this award proves we’re on the right track.
Rising Star Award: Megan Dorward
We are also incredibly proud of Megan Dorward, who received the Rising Star award for her exceptional contribution to Castleton Farm. The judges highlighted:
“Demonstrating clear progression from hands-on experience to strategic leadership. Her passion, dedication and commitment to the business really shone through.”
Megan’s journey, from hospitality roots to a key leadership role, exemplifies the drive and dedication that fuels our business. Her recognition as a rising star in the Scottish food and drink industry is a testament to her hard work and the bright future ahead.
