Food Growing

STS Foodbank Farm

We grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables which are donated exclusively to local food banks and food pantries.

As a social support project, the produce grown is never monetized and our aim is to provide fresh, highly nutritious food to the most vulnerable members of our community.

In the past 6 years, we have made over 300 donations to food poverty services providing produce to them for over 26 weeks during the growing season, totaling 8.5 tonnes of fresh, locally grown, fruits and vegetables.

Kinneil Community Gardens

  • Within our farm we have a community growing area, offering raised beds for hire to individuals, community groups, and support organizations.
  • These beds have also been used to host local primary schools to encourage local pupils to learn about how to grow fresh produce.
  • We also have provided these raised beds for mental health referrals, pensioners, and foodbank clients at a subsidized rate.
  • If you’re interested in growing fresh produce in one of our raised beds, please contact us so we can help make that happen

Animal Husbandry

On our farm, we also have 12 ex-battery hens and 2 hives of buzzy bees helping us to provide more produce to the local foodbanks. 

Our feathered friends came to us via the British Hen Welfare Trust Rehoming Service in Denny and they amazingly take our vegetable waste and turn them into eggs we can donate.  

The bees on site are taken care of with the help of our friends at Ian Fraser Bee-Keeping, with our little striped explorers helping to pollinate our plants and provide honey for our local food poverty partners.
