Let’s work together on…
Food and Growing
Be inspired to grow, cook, eat and share local, seasonal and climate-friendly food.
Growing and eating nutrient-rich local food has a whole host of benefits, from improved health and wellbeing, to reduced environmental impact. At Sustainable Kirriemuir, we aim to grow as much local, seasonal, climate-friendly food as we can for our community. We also want to inspire an appreciation for the value of food, especially local food, through workshops on the growing, preparation and storage of food, as well as reducing waste. We do this across our two main growing sites, the Community Garden and The Farm, as well as by offering support to local schools to increase growing in their school grounds.
