Jim Fairlie @ Logiealmond

I'm Jim Fairlie, farmer, producer, food lover and a man with more than one opinion about Scottish Food, Farming and Politics! I am passionate about what Scotland's farmers have to offer our country and the wider world. With a big dose of self belief and a willingness to get in there and give it all a go we can change how our children see their food, how the supermarkets respect their suppliers and how we all enjoy the countryside and those who make their living from it. I hope you enjoy the blog. Aye, Jim.
