The Crossroads Community Hub brings you….
The NEW Ayrshire Food Hub!
Ayrshire Food Hub is taking root deep within the agricultural heartland of the west of Scotland. Located just outside Hurlford, the Hub is home to our new coffee shop, a development kitchen, meeting room, a growing garden, and our Ayrshire farm shop, which also distributes fresh local produce online.
By celebrating local producers, Ayrshire Food Hub can support local talent and share fresh, vibrant food from the area whilst cutting food miles. Ayrshire food from Ayrshire folk.
With our parent charity, Crossroads Community Hub, at the heart of the project, there will be new opportunities for everyone – exercise, health, leisure and learning activities all with local as the central focus. Cooking classes for all ages, rural craft and gardening groups, fitness groups and kids’ classes. We want to create a dynamic hub of activity where community support and cultural activities can flourish. Read more…

The new cafe is on it’s way
Coming this winter, our new coffee shop will open its doors and offer a warm welcome to all. Whether it’s a quick bite for breakfast, brunch with friends, a laid-back lunch or somewhere to take the kids, our new cafe is open to everyone.
Being so ideally located in the Irvine Valley, amongst so many great producers, it only makes sense that we would make the most of all that fresh local produce ourselves. The friendly faces at our new cafe will offer up coffees, cakes, snacks and more, using ingredients either from our own growing areas or supplied by trusted local producers in a sustainable and responsible way. Seasonal produce will be used in hearty family favourites, from a menu developed by our food workers and local schoolkids.
A new kitchen for everyone
Our development kitchen offers a bright, clean, professional workspace for ambitious food start-ups looking to upscale their food prep and production. For all the innovative foodies out there, aspiring to share their cooking or baking talents with the world, we know that having a dedicated space to develop, test and perfect your creations can help you fulfil your ambitions. We want to help burgeoning local talents make their mark on Scotland’s fantastic culinary scene with their signature bakes, prize-winning cakes and all things good and delicious. The development kitchen will also double as a training unit for budding food workers keen to learn new skills in prepping, cooking and storing food safely. Fitted with modern, commercial-standard appliances, our test kitchen could be home to your newest, tastiest creation yet.
