The shop sells local produce, Kelly of Cults breads and cakes and other veggies, chutneys and produce from the area.

I recently asked for John's advice for selecting and cooking a piece of pork (I'm not really a very good cook) and between him and Allen (another member of the Troup Team) it was prepared and cooked surprisingly well ! It's an old-school village butchers shop with many of the customers shopping there for many, may years. Troup's also sells a selection of vegetables (displayed outside the shop), home-made pies and pates. Easy parking too with the old station car parking area opposite the shop. A really lovely, friendly place in a very nice Royal Deeside village. Five stars !

I live in Aberdeen and regularly drive out to Foveran to The Store…read more This is a farm shop selling meat (beef and lamb) produced in their own farm, they also buy in fruit and veg, storecupboard ingredients and chicken (free range) from other local suppliers to sell in the shop. The meat really is first class, the sausages are very good quality and they very often do a '3 for 2' deal to save a few pennies. The ladies in the shop are always so helpful and willing to give you advice on how to cook the produce. They also produce very good quality ready meals, pies, lasagnes and much more these are very tasty. I would highly recommend a drive out here but if it is a little out of your way they are often at the Farmers Market on Belmont Street, and I believe they have a shop in Edinburgh.
