The objectives: To assess the feasibility, scope and scale of the demand for local food produce in Kintyre and further if this would justify a food hub and box scheme that supplies regional produce (as wide as possible, but depending on the nature of the demand) to Campbeltown’s catering distributors, food service outlets and shops.
