S2. Ep1: Agritourism with Wilson's Farm & Kitchen
Description
An interview with Lucy Wilson at Wilson’s Farm and Kitchen, discussing their transition from running a traditional Borders beef farm, to also becoming a food-focussed agritourism destination.
We question why on-farm food experiences are so rare in the Scottish Borders, and whether the region could do more to celebrate its own produce.
We mentioned:

* ScottishAgritourism.co.uk
* SSDA - South of Scotland Destination Alliance
