We help allotment holders sell excess produce & help locals have access to community grown food.
Helping the Aberdeen community eat healthy allotment locally grown food from garden to plate since 2013.
We take the extra grown produce from local allotment holders and sell them to you. This gives the allotment holders some extra cash to keep growing and gives you access to homegrown local sourced food. It’s not only sustainably environmentally friendly, but it’s also extremely healthy not to mention tasty.
Locally sourced food is much healthier because fewer nutrients have been lost during the transport needed for large supermarkets. Most allotment holders do not like to use the same toxic chemicals used with factory style growers. And buying locals allows you to see where your food comes from.
We have a network of local allotment growers big and small who enjoy growing produce. When the food is in season often they have much more than they can consume and TAMS take that produce and sell it directly to the community. We are a not for profit organisations and all money made is either given back to the growers to keep up the good work or to help run our market stalls.
We’re seeking a Communications & Social Media Volunteer to help share TAMS’ story online and within our community. You’ll assist with updating our website and social media, promoting events and activities, and supporting volunteer communications like newsletters and email updates.
We’re looking for someone to help us keep TAMS thriving by supporting our fundraising efforts. The Fundraiser will take the lead on looking for new grants and funding opportunities, coordinating applications, and helping to report back to funders when needed.
We’re looking for a friendly person to help us stay in touch with allotment sites and build connections with the people and groups that make TAMS what it is. You’ll be part of a supportive volunteer committee who meet roughly every six weeks.
The Allotment Market Stall provides good-quality, well-priced, locally grown fruit and vegetables and reduces waste. We have opportunities for volunteers to be a part of developing our nature friendly market garden, based at Grove Nursery, Hazlehead, Aberdeen
