Emma Whitham writes

"We only have two weeks left of the Food Assembly - 19th and 26th September.

"Next week will just be a normal collection then on the 26th we are going to host a Harvest Market with tasters/samplers, cooking demos by local chef, complimentary mulled apple juice and lots of local produce for sale.

"We are then going to take October off - everyone needs a break after a busy summer. Then at the end of October we are going to launch our Dingwall Academy Market - this will be an online market similar to Food Assembly platform and our collection time will remain 4-6 on Wednesday.

"The super exciting thing about this enterprise is it will be managed locally by a partnership of MOO Food (a local community food company) and Dingwall Academy. Pupils of Dingwall Academy are already working with a professional web designer to develop our new website. Through this enterprise pupils will have the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in many different roles from marketing to accounting and website management to customer service, as well as learn about the important role local food has in a sustainable food system."
