TAMS Hazelhead

The Allotment Market Stall (TAMS) runs a market stall selling excess produce from Aberdeen City allotments. Proceeds are redistributed to the allotments to improve them for the following season. Having started with one stall in Duthie Park, we now wish to expand to introduce a stall at Hazlehead Park, which also borders onto areas of deprivation and to produce multilingual leaflets to target disadvantaged communities as well as working with older people and young families.
The majority of our work is carried out by volunteers most aged over 55 who have an interest in gardening or cooking. They use this knowledge to pass on tips to customers on growing their own fruit and vegetables and on cooking what they buy.
We work in conjunction with Aberdeen City Council and Community Food Initiative North East to improve access to high quality, local, well priced fruit and vegetables. What is not sold on the market stall is donated to the Aberdeen City Food Bank Partnership.
