Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight

Scotland Food & Drink have been proud to manage Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight since 2009.

The Fortnight promotes the wealth of produce available, encouraging people to discover and enjoy the quality food and drink produced in Scotland. The initiative helps to build the country's reputation for excellent produce and is celebrated across the country in many ways including special events, festivals and by individuals in their own homes.

The Fortnight encourages the food industry - from restaurants to retailers and caterers - to source and champion quality Scottish produce in order to raise awareness of and support the people who produce our food and drink. People will be encouraged to support the Eat Scottish pledge and make a conscious effort to eat more local produce.

Dates for the Fortnight have been set as 1st-16th September 2012. There are countless ways to support the Fortnight and it is an excellent promotional tool to be exploited. Participation can be tailored entirely to the needs and activities of your business, including highlighting the local produce used, running competitions on Eat Scottish, special events or promotions.

To discuss involvement and ways in which the Fortnight can benefit your business, please contact Sophie Fraser by email or by calling 0131 3350952. Further information on the Fortnight can be found on www.scottishfoodanddrinkfortnight.co.uk.
