Locals in Shandon will be sampling the best of local and regional produce this Saturday.
Shandon Local Food Group is hosting its second local food fair in Polwarth Church on Saturday 10 September, from 11am-2pm, featuring farmers and producers from the Lothian and Borders region.
Gavin Corbett of the Shandon Local Food Group said:-“Our first event back in March was a huge success even at what many would see as the leanest time of year for local food. This time we are back at the most bountiful time of year so I am sure hundreds of people will again come through our doors.As well as the stalls from producers, we have demonstrations and tasting, information tables and displays and a barbeque.”
