Mandy and I went to Linlithgow for a visit and discuss all local food projects. It was truly inspirational.
We visited their Vegetable Demo Garden and thought it a wonderful idea. They run 'grow your own' courses throughout the year on this plot which then produces fruit and veg for the courses' participants. The actual growing area is of a reasonable size (103 square meters) and we intend to look very hard for a similar plot here in Callander where we could start digging and running courses from February next year, for a few months at least, hopefully longer. Help us find one!
Also, Transition Linlithgow had a lovely leaflet with information on local food production and selling points in the town, including information on courses, recipes and more. It would be a good idea to do something similar for Callander. Mandy and I will start working on this after the summer. Send us your favourite 'local food' place in town and we will add it to the list.
