At the January meeting Andy McKie gave an interesting talk about chicken and pig small holding which was well received by the group. There were a number of new faces who had a particular interest in this area and expertise from the group was shared amongst each other.

The next Food Group meeting will be held on Wednesday 24th February @ 7.30pm in Letham Village Hall where the film ‘In Transition’ will be shown. If you want to know what transition is about and understand more about what the NHTT is doing, this is the film to watch. It lasts about 1 hour and there will be plenty of room for an informal discussion after. The NHTT Cafe will be there to supply refreshments. This film night is free and all are welcome, not just Food Group members.
