Register Now for GrowFORTH!

growforth_final_flyerCome celebrate local food at GrowFORTH – a local food summit being hosted by Low Carbon Stirling.  The summit is an opportunity for anyone interested in local sustainable food to come together to share experiences, interests, ideas and to create opportunities. 

Mike Small from the Fife Diet (http://www.fifediet.co.uk/) is the keynote speaker.  There will be interactive stalls in the GrowFORTH market place, and discussion tables for people to explore food related topics and to learn from existing projects.  The event will feature local food through Forth Valley College’s ‘catering@thecampus’.  There will be a Kids’ Corner so that children have an opportunity to share their ideas about food, as well as a Funders Corner so that participants can learn about potential funding sources for food projects.  The event promises to be an exciting opportunity for food lovers to learn from and network with others.

We will be also celebrating the Forth Valley Orchards Initiative achievements of the past year, ‘Orchards, People and Place: our heritage and engaging communities’.

The Forth Valley Orchards’ display will include:

  • the Forth Valley Orchards’ Group
  • Certificate in Orchard Management Course with Elmwood College
  • the Forth Valley Orchard Workshop Programme 2011/2012
  • Central Scotland Green Network Orchard Grant Scheme 2011/2012
