Supporters
A wide range of retailers and food groups across the country are
supporting the Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight.
Feed your Family from Fifty Miles
A new project for Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight, Feed your Family
from Fifty Miles is supported by a wide range of producers,
Farmers' Markets, farm shops and community groups. The aim is
to connect people with the excellent and affordable local food
available near them, and encourage people to make eating local an
everyday thing. Fifty mile stickers will highlight products
from within fifty miles of each participating outlet, and recipes
from famous Scottish chefs are available on the website.
Different promotions and activities are on offer in each area of
Scotland, so check out what's on in your fifity mile zone!
One Planet Picnic
A fortnight of sustainable picnics will be held by schools to
celebrate the harvest, taste some good Scottish food and enjoy
learning about Food and the Environment, the newest Eco-Schools
topic. One Planet Picnics will include food that is healthy
for people and the healthy for the planet. Picnic food might
include school grown crops or local produce and picnics will try to
reduce food and packaging waste too. This project includes a
'One Planet Picnic' competition, with fabulous foodie prizes across
Scotland to further support learning about sustainable food
choices.
Visit the website for more information.
Retailers supporting the Fortnight in a range of different ways
include ASDA, Tesco, Aldi and Scotmid.
Aldi
'Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight is the perfect time to
learn more about the fantastic produce grown and manufactured in
our country. What's more, eating locally sourced, Scottish produce
doesn't have to be difficult or expensive.
It's easy to stock up on Scottish favourites - why not try your
local Aldi where 25% of the product range is Scottish and over 60
independent food and drink businesses are now part of the Aldi
family.'
Slàinte Gifts
Based in Angus, the Scottish online gifts company supplies
Scottish alcohol products as well as a quality range of alcohol
