In this episode we meet Charlotte of Herb Majesty, a smallholding in Perthshire, Scotland. Charlotte produces a range of free range poultry and pork with an ethos that animals should be free range and pasture grazed on untreated pasture that is rich in flora. Herbs are also in their diet for medicinal properties so that every care to reduce chemical intervention is taken.

We are Forth Environment Link and as part of our Regional Food Markets project we’ve been working with people across Scotland to help them build their own click and collect markets for local food. These online markets promote more environmentally sustainable farming. They link people with their environment through the food on their plate, while at the same time offer a fair price to family farms and small producers, and promoting healthier diets packed with seasonal produce.

Gather Around Local Food

Grow and Tell is a podcast for people who love local food, and want to know how to get more of it on to their plates. 

We are Forth Environment Link and for the last few years we’ve been bringing communities together around an incredible array of local, seasonal and sustainable food from across Scotland. Using ‘click n’ collect farmer’s markets’ we help communities shop for more local food than ever before, pay producers a fair price and reconnect with their environment through the food on their plates.

In this podcast we’ll be hearing from some of the people who make this happen.

Forth Environment Link (FEL) has secured funding from LEADER (in Fife, Perth & Kinross, Borders and Forth Valley & Lomond) and Transport Scotland to mentor and grant fund start up costs for groups that want to bring their local communities together around good food by running an online farmers market.

This podcasts serves as part of our cascade training, aiming to share experiences from the NeighbourFood network.
