Episode notes

Anna is munching delicious broccoli crisps this week! She's in Cupar in Fife, at the headquarters of Growers Garden. They make crisps from vegetables that would otherwise not have made the grade for supermarket shelves. Growers Garden are part of a farmer-owner co-operative called East of Scotland Growers. It is a brilliant example of individual farmers working together to benefit each other as a group - under the larger Scottish umbrella group for co-operatives, the SAOS.

OnFARM repeating this episode before taking a short break - while we work behind the scenes to make a raft of new episodes with partners -- including SAOS! We'll have a number of episodes in our new series looking at examples of Scottish farm co-ops taking on the challenge of climate change.
