Meet The OFN Food Hub: Sara Rock shares a week in the life of Tamar Valley Food Hubs
Channel: Open Food Network
Date: 23/10/2020

This is the first in a series of ‘a week in the life of’ style interviews with community food enterprises who use the OFN.

These sessions will be a great way to learn how other hubs function, what they find most effective, and perhaps spot some opportunities to improve your own hub’s practical logistics, customer relationships, marketing and more.

Joining us for our first session is Sara Rock from Tamar Grow Local (https://tamargrowlocal.org) . Sara is one of the founders of Open Food Network UK and helped bring the OFN to the UK over 5 years ago. Tamar Grow Local is a community interest company and umbrella organisation for Tamar Valley Food Hub (https://openfoodnetwork.org.uk/tamar-valley-food-hubs/shop#/shop).

Tamar Grow Local also runs lots of different community growing projects, community orchards, allotments, a farm start project, as well as doing lots of food security work with local authorities and a big housing association. In addition to this, Tamar do a lot of project work to help support other food enterprises to adopt their model.
