The Community Allotments provide leisure and recreational outdoor activities for the residents of Anstruther and its environs by giving everyone a chance to re-connect with nature and grow their own food.
The activity of growing food offers people the chance to take exercise, reduce stress and get fresh air; whilst the harvest increases access to fresh and healthy fruit and vegetables. Protecting green space in built up areas improves air quality, encourages biodiversity and reduces carbon food miles. Community allotments provide recreational opportunities that encourage socialising, decrease isolation and lead to improved confidence and self-esteem.
We collaborate with local schools and the community fridge providing produce and educational activities.
