Blasda -Scotland’s Local Food Feast
| September 10, 2011 |
Coinciding with the Fifty mile challenge fortnight, Saturday September 10th sees the launch of an annual celebration of local food in Scotland. Blasda* is the day to focus on our food heritage, our regional food variation and the growing emphasis on quality home-grown produce.

Feed your family from fifty miles!
| September 5, 2011 | to | September 18, 2011 |
Will you take on the challenge of feeding your family from fifty miles?
During Scottish Food and Drink Fortnight we are inviting people to try feeding themselves with locally grown and produced food -whether it is for one meal, one day or the full two weeks.
Join in the fifty mile challenge and share your experiences and ideas on our Facebook page (now live). Invite your friends, family, neighbours, school and local restaurants to join in too. Organise a ‘Blasda‘ local food feast……Invite suppliers of local food to publicise what they have to offer through this site.
We know that most people would like to be able to eat more locally produced food. Together we can make good quality local food more accessible and visible, encourage more farmers and growers to produce food for local people and start rebuilding a local food economy that is resilient enough to provide us with quality, nutritious food in the face of climate change, peak oil and uncertain economic times.
