My last post for City Hippy was about the Soil Association Scotland Organic Food Fair held in Glasgow the other week and I just wanted to tell you all what a fabulous event it was. It was the first time the Soil Association had held one of their fairs outside Bristol and going by the success of the Glasgow one, here’s to many more throughout the country.

I lost count of all the delicious food we tried: soup, yoghurt, breads, dips, more soup, chocolate… My boyfriend also tried some of the meat products available and proclaimed them delicious. We knew some of the producers already from our weekly visits to the farmers market in Edinburgh but learned about loads more. We’re already planning visits out to Jamesfield Organics and “>Pillars of Hercules up in Fife.

It wasn’t just about food, Ecover, Green People and Seasalt were also there and I took advantage of special show prices to buy a lovely top from Seasalt (I love the way each item of clothing comes with a small packet of organic cotton seeds).

Definitely worth the train fair from Edinburgh!
