Community initiative focused on local food production

Coll Growing Group was set up on the Isle of Coll in 2022 to support growing on the island. They do this through practical growing activities and through the sharing of information and expertise.

The school established gardens in the front yard in 2019 for classroom activities, fresh vegetables, and fruit production. The produce goes to  school lunches or local food banks. 

This high production garden serves garden and culinary classes and the PT Food Bank during the summer months since 2012.  Students have classes on multiple days. Volunteers work on Fridays 9-11. 

This valuable space for growing has been put on hold until new owners will take it on on behalf of the food bank.

Natembea is a cooperative farm project located on a 97-acre expanse of pasture, woods, and wetlands at the edge of Port Townsend, Washington. The farm was purchased by Devon and David Pablo Cohn in 2016 with the mission of preserving the land for community benefit while honoring its history as a family farm. Natembea practices sustainable agriculture, relying on interlocking resources and minimizing off-farm inputs, with no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers applied. The farm is significant for its agricultural importance and is part of efforts to protect working farmland in the region.

Grow Food Grow Dunoon is a project of Dunoon Community Development Trust.
