Company activities and impact

Tamar Grow Local is a Co-operative Community Interest Company promoting local produce in the Tamar Valley and surrounding area. It is a democratic membership organisation, with our ‘community of interest’ being the Tamar Valley catchment, which includes Plymouth and areas in Devon and Cornwall.Tamar Grow Locals’ work includes activities and projects over three main areas to achieve its aims; community, commercial and education.CommunityOur activities this year have included:Calstock Allotments St. Budeaux Church Allotments Harrowbarrow & Metherell Community Vineyard Equipment & Machinery Pool (pruning, apple pressing, tools, meadow maintenance)Tamar Valley Honey Co-operativeTamar Valley Apple Juice Co-operativeTamar Valley Food Hubs - RetailTamar Valley Food Hubs - WholesaleCross-trading between food hubs pilot study (Good Food Loop)Beekeeping coursesGrow Share Cook Mill Lane Starter Horticultural unitsFeaturing in international podcasts and case studies on sustainable communities.NESS Project in partnership with the Land Workers’ Alliance South West Landmatch The success of these projects has led to interest in other growing projects from local communities, landowners and growers and we have been approached to offer assistance and support. Tamar Valley Food Hubs continues in line with others in the sector and has a growing wholesale offer to cafes, restaurants and hotels.Tamar Grow Local has also been able to assist with the development of other projects both locally and nationally. Work in Plymouth One of the key overiding aspects has been to provide tools to address food insecurity. TGL has been a delivery partner in with Plymouth City Council on the Grow Share Cook project. An independent evauluation on year 1 placed the SROI of this project at £15.79. EducationThe website has specific webpages aimed at helping others replicate our projects, and the Food Hubs its own dedicated website. Ground work for replication of the TGL continues with interest from groups nationally wishing to replicate our model A range of other events and initiatives have been developed to raise awareness, emphasise seasonality, create links with the cultural heritage and promote local producers. Training has included Practical Beekeeping courses as well as short courses funded via the TAMARA project.CommercialMill Lane Acres – Farmstart projectWe are continuing to develop a number of longer term initiatives to increase production.As part of this work a Farm Start project has been developed at Mill Lane, Metherell. This provides ‘starter holdings’, which have allowed new entrants to farming/ horticulture access to land at affordable rents and to share resources and access to markets. Food HubRetail – Our retail Food Hub has increased in scale and during the Covid-19 pandemic and has required re-location to larger premises. The Food Hub trading has declined as it has for others in the sector, although to not such a great extent. Wholesale - The wholesale foodhub supplies pubs, restaurants and cafes in the Tamar Valley and Plymouth mainly with apple juice, vegetables and honey. The scale of this is growing as our Good Food Loop project develops.Apple juiceThe apple juice co-operative is scaling up in terms of both orchard suppliers and volume of juice produced and sold.

Comments, suggestions, feedback and involvement have been requested at every opportunity, through leaflets, the website and questionnaires at all opportunities to establish interest in a range of projects.Regular E- newsletters are now being sent out to over 1420 recipients.We are also actively engaging with a range of commercial growers and organisations in the Tamar Valley, including through the Markets and Tamar Valley Food Hubs initiatives.
