Peat Harvest

Peat is a natural product that has been used as a fuel in Scotland for centuries. Historically cut or cast by hand we now use modern machinery to extract the peat from the bog land. It is then left to air dry naturally on the surface in the summer for 6-8 weeks, depending on the notorious Scottish weather! The dried peat is then harvested, stored and bagged ready for distribution throughout the country.

The production of peat is a simple and traditional process and we have been producing the best quality fuel peat for over 100 years. Northern Peat & Moss Company is Scotland's largest fuel peat producer, proud of our long history and boasting one of the most experienced workforces in our field. We maintain the strictest standards of land preparation and quality control during the production process to ensure that our customers receive only the finest quality of fuel peat.
