Every great taste has a story and a passionate producer, chef or grower behind it. Together, they form Forth Valley’s vibrant food and drink community.

Whether you’re looking to discover local flavours or grow your local food and drink business, you’re in the right place.

We champion buying local to support our regional economy and promote a more sustainable food system. By connecting businesses and inspiring consumers to explore our region, we’re putting Forth Valley firmly on the map as a leading food and drink destination.

TAKE THE FORTH VALLEY FIVE PLEDGE

Forth Valley Five is all about strengthening the local supply chain and making it easier for customers to enjoy the best of our region.

We’re calling on cafés, restaurants, shops and hospitality businesses to feature at least five locally produced food or drink items on their menus or shelves.

From craft gin and locally roasted coffee to handmade preserves and small-batch bakes, our campaign shines a spotlight on the producers behind the products and the businesses championing local sourcing.
