A COMMUNITY development company in the north of Shetland is distributing
Growing Local packs to enable residents to grow their own produce.
The packs consist of a variety of seeds for growing as well as a questionnaire for people to fill in.
Northmavine Community Development Company (NCDC) recently appointed Mark Ratter as project worker to oversee the two-year initiative aimed at increasing community access to locally grown produce.

This follows on from NCDC’s successful
Peerie Voar seed packs which were sent out to Northmavine residents during last year’s lockdown.
Ratter has recently returned to Shetland after several years working in the South-East Asian country of Laos, supporting the development of sustainable livelihoods for smallholder farmers, whilst also running a restaurant and bar with his wife, Sudjai.
