The Black Isle Brewery Farm was bought in 2008 and converted to organic production. With the help of local volunteers, it has a dual-purpose; to grow produce for the bars whilst encouraging nature back onto what was previously intensively farmed land. This was a crop of Apium graveolens var. rapaceum 'Ibis' (celeriac) and Apium graveolens var. rapaceum 'Monarch' (celeriac) both cultivars produce creamy stems that carry a subtle nutty flavour. They have good storage ability and can be harvested from September onwards

Maple glazed "ham", non-dairy cheese, and pickle sarnie made from celeriac.

Celeriac is a root vegetable closely related to celery, parsnips, and parsely that can be eaten raw or boiled, roasted, mashed, or baked. Native to northern and eastern Europe, celeriac is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals and is an excellent source of vitamin K.
