We at Edinburgh Community Food source locally wherever possible.

Seasonal and local food is fresher, tastier and more nutritious as it hasn't travelled so far to reach your table. Fresh fruits and vegetables begin to lose nutrients as soon as they are picked. 

We try to source our fresh products locally to support growers and throughout the year, we may source our food from different suppliers. Here are some of those who we buy from.
