Very disappointed to be leaving the Queens park rec croft from next year...

Can't say we haven't had a good time though. This year we ran a market gardening group in partnership with our rouken glen pals and funded by . A lovely group and culminated in a visit to RHS botanics in Edinburgh and the exciting Lauriston farm.

Over the years here we ran a local CSA inspired veg box scheme that went down a storm and built a great wee community spirit. Also might have tried our produce that's been sold/cooked around the area including at our pals .eight.seven and . As well as the Tenement veg coop members there's a regular staple of volunteers/pals who are responsible for most of the hard graft.

See you all on the other side and of you have any ideas going forward please get in touch. There's never a better time than now to make a difference and modest, community led local farming can without a doubt improve our broken food system!

Beautiful day at the croft yesterday!

Lots of fresh organic veg harvested including these purple mangetout and Henriette's beautiful amaranth. You can visit for our produce in Shawlands now, support the wee shops and keep it local! The People's Pantry] received fresh salad, courgettes and rainbow chard too.

No veg box this year unfortunately as we are prepping for moving away from the croft to pastures new... Where that will be yet to be determined but fingers crossed! It's been an amazing time we've had there and through our CSA style veg box, links with the The People's Pantry], our fellow crofters and others we forged a loyal and close wee community spirit with our locals.

A busy year so far though and we have been running group sessions with support from and our pals
At Rouken Glen and the Croft. It's aim to bring young people from diverse backgrounds into the market garden environment, have a good time and hopefully learn a wee bit about it from us. It's been hugely enjoyable for us so far. Kelly has also been very busy with the amazing and , helping to create a community garden there in Ibrox.

Hi all, hope you're all doing well. We're posting as we're looking to raise urgent medical funds for our dear friend and colleague's brother who is in a coma. The charges in the UK will roll into the thousands. If you can, please donate and share widely. Would be much appreciated.

Delighted to be working in partnership with our neighbours down the road, the People's Pantry! They are doing a great job at making nutritious and high quality produce affordable for the whole community here. Good food should be available to everyone.

Look forward to supplying their membership with more and more fresh organic veg, salad and herbs as the weather improves(it is going to improve surely... !?)

We are really proud of our veg selection here at The Pantry and it doesn’t get much better than this!

Tenement Veg hand delivered chard and leeks which were grown just around the corner at the croft in Queens Park. These extra special items can be included as part of your shop this week.
