Tamar Grow Local CIC was established in 2007 as an umbrella organisation promoting local food and produce in the Tamar river catchment, including areas of Devon and Cornwall and the large urban population of Plymouth. This area has a long tradition of market gardening and fruit production, based on its unique microclimate and long growing season. TGL is an umbrella organisation, and has established and supported over 20 different local food initiatives in the Tamar Valley to re-invigorate production and engagement in food growing. These range from community orchards and allotments, field-scale community growing, livestock co-operatives, through to CSA’s, produce co- operatives, co-operative market stalls, food hubs, farmers markets and training. These have purposefully bridged community and commercial activity in order to build self-financing elements into community projects, and to provide opportunities for progression from recreational growing through to self-employment.
