Are you setting up or running a local food enterprise and would you like to link up with others in the sector? We’re excited to be hosting our second annual gathering for local food producers and entrepreneurs in Scotland.
What to expect: A busy full day programme with workshops, guest speakers and a choice of site visits – followed by an (optional) veggie BBQ dinner in the early evening. A chance to meet and share experiences with other pioneers in the local food sector.
This gathering is open to all small-scale Scottish local food entrepreneurs – from field to plate- including current and past participants in the Nourish Scotland programme Making a Living from Local Food.
Tickets are £10 for the day to help us cover the event costs, and £15 for the (optional) veggie BBQ dinner at Pillars of Hercules Organic Café in the evening. If costs are a barrier for you to participate in this event, do get in touch with us.
Tickets are going fast, so don’t forget to book yours here on Eventbrite. It would be great to see you there!
