Our local food producers have just lost access to their markets for this year. Covid-19 means they can’t sell seafood to Spain, local ingredients to tourists, stock restaurants. This is a hard time for us all, worried about our health, our relatives and our futures.
Please support your local food producers. Find out who is the nearest, and see if there is a way of working cooperatively.
In Benbecula, a small group of volunteers is working on getting a new website launched. The plan is that it will use the Eat Drink Hebrides branding. Local food producers will register with basic information on stock, when and where. Each producer will need to manage their own payments, preferably using paypal or contactless payment. The group is taking advice from Environmental Health to ensure that it is all done safely.
I have just come across this page from a Lochmaddy Bay Prawns post, wow…so much information from shopping to recipes to general information, thank you so much.
