Promoting Our Produce – Tamara Landscape Partnership

Tender description

The overarching objective for the Promoting Our Produce Project is to develop a revitalised food system in the Tamara Landscape Partnership scheme area that enriches and sustains its distinctive landscape and reconnects people to their heritage, to their food, and to each other. The project consists of three key inter-linked areas of activity. These are: • Sharing Community Food Knowledge - including delivering short courses in food growing and production skills, improving an existing demonstration market garden and developing a new allotment site. Outputs will also include mentoring, signposting and promotion of existing initiatives including site visits, and community events. Key to the success of these outputs will be the recruitment and management of a team of volunteer local food ambassadors. • Better Access to Local Food - stimulating the market by promoting existing outlets, supporting the development of new ones, diversifying supply chains and developing a regional brand that can become an emblem of sustainable local production. • Outlets for Orchards - developing an expanded apple juicing and bottling facility and business to support the area’s orchard production
