KINTALINE FARM PLANT AND POULTRY CENTRE Benderloch by OBAN Argyll PA37 1QS Scotland
2010 is a year for re-evaluating all our values and working to improve our personal sustainability, there has never been a better time to get our gardens working harder for ourselves, growing our own food: meat and eggs, recycling more, breeding more useful types of birds, and helping each other.
Our websites are full of experienced advice, from decades of breeding and rearing and eating, and well researched, reliable, state of the art products for the domestic environment.
We look forward to helping you get more out of your garden or smallholding, and your birds, for a fulfilling 2010.
PLEASE read our CONTACT US page for our opening times.
We are very busy outside these days so, sometimes, the office is not manned.
Please email any queries about purchasing and we will get back in touch with you as soon as we can.

We also sell quality, functional, UK manufactured poultry and waterfowl housing as well as Electric fencing kits for poultry and all your equipment needs

When we moved to the farm nearly 20 years ago from Oban it was just about derelict and since then we have been steadily renovating it and trying to make a living from our 24 acres. In the past we have had dairy goats and a local craft shop. Now we are concentrating on the poultry, waterfowl and plants as well as promoting local produce through our regular Local Market held here at the farm.
Some of the breeds we have are getting very rare in the utility stocks (these are the types of birds that are still productive as well as being decorative) and we hope that we can do our bit in revitalising these breeds so that they will be available to generations after us.
For this reason we do not have all the possible breeds (several hundred breeds and colours are classified in the various poultry fancy standards) but are breeding and rearing good quality, healthy stock of about 30 at the moment.
We hope you will enjoy visiting our farm - we have laid paths around the pens for your comfort and provided information about each breed so you can find out more as you wander around the fields overlooking the tidal bay and the mountains of Morvern. The birds will come and greet you and love getting titbits of feed. There are so many colours, sizes and shape to see - we are sure you will be surprised. The poultry park is not always open in the winter.
Across the fences in the other fields you may be able to spot our small flock of Jacob sheep - see where we grow our plants and vegetables.

We have a wide selection of grasses, rhododendrons, heathers, alpines, perennials, herbs, trees, roses, planters, bulbs etc. I am enjoying growing really interesting varieties as well as the more common ones.
