Love Food Hate Waste Campaign
Most of us don't realise the amount of food we throw away. Over a third of food we buy in Scotland is thrown directly in the bin and at least half of this could have been eaten. Love Food Hate Waste aims to reduce this figure by showing people how they can cut down on their own wastage. One of the simple ways to help cut down on waste is to buy fresh, local, high quality produce. You can choose the quantity that you buy, you know it's going to taste delicious and the bonus is that you know exactly where it has come from. The Love Food Hate Waste campaign website includes some great recipe ideas as well as other ideas on how to cut waste.

Damn Delicious
We are all about providing high quality food direct from the farm to your doorstep. We care about our animals and the environment. Not just because it’s the current fashion but because we always have.
Our Beef and Lamb are probably the most mouth-watering meat you will ever taste, matured on the bone to create maximum taste and tenderness using traditional methods. Uniquely our animals live outside all year round and eat fresh green forage every day. This diet of grass and clover and in winter hay or silage and kale not only gives the meat its Damn Delicious taste and tenderness but increases the amount of ‘healthy’ fats (Omega 3) in the meat. These Healthy Fats are thought to be anti carcinogenic and may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

We deliver nationwide and have a wide selection of cuts as well as versatile and cost effect variety boxes.
For more details visit our web site www.damndelicious.co.uk or call 01899 308688 or 0777 633 5468
