The Fife farm building a local food network
Nancy Nicolson visits the Fife farm estate that's helping to make the most of the productive local food scene.
Some of Scotland's finest food is produced in Fife - but locals rarely get a look-in, as it's usually transported away to be processed, packaged and eaten elsewhere.
However, Balcaskie Estate in the region's East Neuk is working hard to change that, by bringing together small-scale food businesses including a butcher, a miller and a brewer at a hub on-site, where they process some of the organic raw ingredients produced on the land.
Nancy Nicolson visits the estate on its monthly market day, when the doors of the Bowhouse centre are thrown open to consumers and other traders, and hears from the farm manager and some of the others involved in the business about the ethos and objectives of the centre and the wider estate.
Presented and Produced by Nancy Nicolson.
