mission statement.

We love local food & drinks businesses, and we wouldn’t be here without them. Since the very beginning, Farr Out has delivered for bakeries, breweries, coffee roasters, delis and more.

We have provided them with new routes to market during challenging times and they have made our dream of a carbon neutral cargo bike delivery service possible. 

Now, thanks to the Regional Food Fund, we can give back! To say thank you for all the support, and to return the favour, we are running a marketing campaign that promotes Edinburgh based Food & Drinks businesses.

Local for Life aims to showcase the best of what Edinburgh has to offer.

Over the next few months, we will be running promotions alongside local businesses. Aside from prizes, discounts, and deals, we hope that this campaign will help to spread awareness about sustainable business practices and the importance of supporting local.

 

Stay tuned folks!
