A community celebration of locally grown and produced food

Tweed Feast | Part 2 | The Borders Diet

After the success of the first Tweed Feast last August we are excited to gather again March 1st, this time to deepen the conversation around local food producers and instigate a 'Borders Diet' experiment later in the year.

• The aim of this afternoon is to celebrate and highlight the food we already have available in the Tweed Valley, share it together in community, and ignite conversation around future possibilities. All are welcome, from local food producers, to passionate veg growers, and anyone who is interested in local food!

• Please bring a homemade dish to share, so we create a feast together. Try to use predominantly home grown or locally sourced food/ingredients (so we can all see what we actually have available). Make sure to label your dish with it's ingredients and any potential allergens. BYOB, crockery provided, hob available to heat up food.

• As well as feasting, there will be talks from Elly Kinross (Fife Diet) and Fi Martynogya (writer, gardener, environmentalist) - sharing examples and inspiration about the power of eating locally produced food. With time for Q&A as well as focussed discussions to gather ideas with fellow feasters.

All welcome, by donation on the door - but make sure to book your ticket on Eventbrite to reserve your seat. ** Suggested donation £5 - Please bring cash **

We hope that this event can grow year on year and encourage us to further celebrate the locally grown food of the Tweed Valley. Inspiring an increase in the amount of food and variety available for all!

Borders Organic Gardeners Potato Day and Green Fair is one of the biggest potato days in the country and very possibly the longest running. With 80 varieties of seed potato on offer including heritage and newer there is something for every tattie enthusiast. The selection ranges from more traditional heritage varieties to newer species developed for yield and disease resistance. There is always a selection of organically produced seed, not to forget the onions and shallots. But the Day is not only for gardeners, bring the whole family to browse a range of green stalls, participate in kids’ activities and lunch at the café.
