As you know, we like a challenge at Fair Share. This week we have two baskets piled high with clementines. A good healthy snack. We also have cauliflowers, apples, onions, lettuce and a good range of items in the fridge. New in the freezer are packs of oven chips.  Thank you to Farne Salmon, Greenvale Potatoes and Duns Co-op for their continued support.  The What Matters Hub will be at the cafe tomorrow (Tuesday). The kettle will be on and doors open at 10 am. 

From this week, we have increased the weight of surplus food delivered by FareShare (Edinburgh). We will have to pay a higher delivery charge but will be able to order more fruit and vegetables which have proved to be very popular. The feedback we have had indicates that people like to be able to take what they need from the larder rather than the produce being pre-packed in plastic bags. We are very grateful for your continued support. Let’s fill tums not bins.

It looks like we are going to have some glorious weather.  As you will see from the photos we have a good range of fruit and vegetables available. We had a delivery from Eildon housing which included a mystery item which I had to research. It is called taro. Apparently you can cook it like a potato, so roasted, baked or boiled. The fridge is full of pasties and sausage rolls.  This Wednesday is World Food Waste Day. 33% of all food produced globally is lost or wasted every year. Let’s do our bit to reduce this amount. Pop in for a cuppa we are open 10 till 12 noon Tuesday…

Well that’s Easter over and we are heading towards summer. As you will see we have a real mixture of items in the fridge this week. The steak slices need to go tomorrow. We only have 12 of the yoghurts left which is amazing as we started off with 144 pots! The bizarre item of the week, on the extras table, is a 10 litre box of water. There are lots of fresh fruit and vegetables available. The What Matters Hub will be at the cafe tomorrow (Tuesday). It’s hard to believe we have been open for over a year. Just think of how much food you have helped to…

Well the sun might have disappeared but we still have a rainbow of fruit and vegetables available this week at Duns Fair Share. It’s been hard to fit everything on the table! The blueberries need to go tomorrow. We have had a delivery from Eildon Housing so lots of choice. The fridge still has a ‘yoghurt mountain’ and lots of other tasty things. Also available are bakery goods from Duns Co-op, salmon from Farne and potatoes from Greenvale. Pop along for a cosy cuppa and help save the planet. We are open 10 till 12 noon Tuesday and Thursday.

Another fantastic week weather wise. Great for the beginning of the school Easter holidays. The fridge is packed with yoghurt and cheese slices. We also have some lasagne ready meals which can be frozen. The extras table has lots of peanut butter which has an extended date to the end of this month. We have some amazing fruit and vegetables. The freezer has salmon from Farne. We will have our usual bakery goods from Duns Co-op and some huge baking potatoes from Greenvale. The What Matters Hub will be at the cafe tomorrow (Tuesday). Pop along and help save all this amazing food from landfill. Please remember not to park…

The weather forecast looks fantastic for this week. We have had deliveries from FareShare and Eildon Housing so the shelf and table are full. This is before we collect from Duns Co-op this evening! The bags of Caramac buttons are a real blast from the past. As you can see from the photographs we have some amazing fresh fruit and vegetables. We are open from 10 till 12 noon Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please be aware that you may receive a parking ticket if you park in Murray Street.

Spring is officially here. It has been lovely to see the sun. We have a real mix of items in the fridge this week. The macaroni cheese needs to go tomorrow and we have lots of tubs of soup. There are some jars of lemon curd on the extras table which has an extended date. There are also lots of carrots, cabbages, mushrooms and bags of salad. The What Matters Hub will be at the cafe this week. The UK wastes approximately 9.5 million tonnes of food every year. Let’s help to reduce this! 

This week we have lots of bananas, mushrooms and apples. All good for mushroom soup, banana bread and apple crumble. It’s definitely the weather for tasty comfort food. The curry ready meals in the fridge need to go tomorrow. The yoghurt and milk both have long dates. We will have our usual bakery goods from Duns Co-op, salmon from Farne and potatoes from Greenvale. Pop in for a cuppa, we are open from 10 till 12 noon Tuesdays and Thursdays.
