Growing food to create a valuable resource for our community, to improve health & environment.
1. By growing produce for our community, on no-dig, regenerative, organic principles. And donating produce to local, community causes.
To achieve this, we will sell the food we grow to the public to cover our costs, and donate a proportion Free of Charge, to local social enterprises such as: Healthy Valleys, Clydesdale Food Bank, Biggar Youth Project’s FREE FOOD HUB and Braw Clan’s Soup & a Story project.
3. By inviting volunteers to work together in the fresh air, to boost their health and wellbeing.
We now have over 30 volunteers helping in various ways with the community market garden. Volunteers of all abilities gain access to a community of like-minded people, enjoy regular socialisation and the physical wellbeing of working together in the fresh air and contributing to providing healthy produce for the benefit of our community.
The more we can encourage and educate our community to grow produce in their own gardens, (young & old), the healthier we, as a community and society, will become (mentally and physically).
