The farmer turning culled deer into meals for families in need

A Perthshire farmer is feeding families in need with surplus meat from deer culled to protect the fragile habitat of nearby protected moorland. Helen Stewart set up Fair Feast after taking over her family's farm near Pitlochry and saw an opportunity to turn the venison into meals for families who needed them. Rather than see the venison go to waste, Fair Feast built a network of food banks across rural Scotland to distribute its produce, leading to the opening of what is believed to be the world's first social enterprise butcher's shop on Pitlochry High Street. Now, she is aiming to reach 100,000 people this year after receiving support from Business Gateway.
