Once again we have a fantastic array of fruit and vegetables available. We have had large deliveries from The Hugo Burge Foundation, Abundant Borders and Fare Share. New in the freezer this week are some frozen baguettes and of course salmon from Farne. By using Duns FairShare you help stop all this amazing fresh food from going to waste. It is always very satisfying to see how much fresh food, including loose fruit and vegetables, we redistribute. An amazing fact is that: “If all apples, bananas and potatoes were sold loose, 60,000 tonnes of food waste could be saved every year. “  We are open on Tuesday and Thursday 10…

This week we have run out of space on the tables! We have some lovely fresh potatoes, carrots, beetroot, broccoli, onions and garlic from the Hugo Burge Foundation. Some beautiful soft fruit and kohlrabi from Abundant Borders. Crates of fruit and vegetables from FareShare and Eildon Housing. The fridge is packed with a wide range of things. The What Matters Hub is also available in the cafe tomorrow (Tuesday). Pop along and help save all this amazing produce from going to waste. Full tums not bins!

What a difference a week makes. Back to soup weather. We have mountains of tomatoes and courgettes available, both good for soup and pasta dishes. We also have some beautiful produce from The Hugo Burge Foundation. The fridge has lots of choice. The shelf is crammed with goodies. This is before we collect all the stuff from Duns Coop tonight! As usual we have potatoes from Greenvale and Salmon from Farne. Let’s stop all this amazing food from going to waste. We are open from 10 till 12 noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

It’s that time of year again. Everyone at Duns Fair Share would like to wish the Reiver’s Party and Wynsome Mayde Party a wonderful week. The town is buzzing which is lovely to see. This week we have amazing fresh fruit and vegetables from the Hugo Burge Foundation and Abundant Borders. The table is overflowing. Keith has also dropped off a delivery from Eildon Housing and we have had a large delivery from FareShare. Let’s fill tums not bins! The What Matters Hub will be in the cafe on Tuesday. We are open 10 till 12 noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This week we received the first delivery of the year from the Hugo Burge Foundation. We also have some onions and garlic from Abundant Borders. All super fresh and very local. New on the shelf are some “posh” breakfast cereals. We are open Tuesday and Thursday 10 till 12 noon. Let’s stop all this amazing food from going to landfill.  P.S. Abundant Borders have a jam making session at their Duns garden tomorrow afternoon at Station Drive (1st July 1 till 3pm). Well worth a visit. 

Unfortunately FareShare Edinburgh had a chiller breakdown this weekend so a lot of what we ordered did not arrive. However we do have some lovely nectarines, lemons and lettuce from them. Abundant Borders have given us some more beans and a beautiful cabbage. You can’t get fresher! The What Matters Hub will be at FairShare on Tuesday. I’ve lost count of the number of people I speak to who have been helped by the WMH team.  Once again thank you to all our supporters. Without the help of local businesses and our fantastic volunteers we would not exist. 

Abundant Borders have given us some beautiful fresh Field beans which are the same as broad beans except smaller and sweeter.  As you will see from the photograph the fridge has a really good range of items, something for everyone. The banoffee pie protein mousse needs to go on Tuesday.  In other news, we have had a slight revamp in the cafe so that we can fit in more tables and chairs. This should help during busy times.  Once again thank you to FareShare, Duns Co-op, Farne Salmon, Greenvale, Abundant Borders and Eildon Housing. Your continued support is much appreciated. We will be open Tuesday and Thursday 10 till 12 noon. 

The exciting news this week is that we have started to get fresh produce from Abundant Borders, Station Road, Duns again. Broad beans, gooseberries and a lovely cabbage all grown in the community garden.  It’s a busy time at the cafe as we have the What Matters Hub and Sustainable Borders visiting on Tuesday. The freezer is full of breaded chicken, large bags of grated mozzarella and frozen peas. The fridge has fewer items in it but this is because the freezer is full! As you will see from the pictures we also have a good range of fruit and vegetables. The kettle will be on and hopefully the rain…

This week is volunteers’ week. Duns Fair Share is run completely by volunteers and we would like to thank our amazing team for all the valuable work they do. The fridge has a really good mix of items including some lovely black grapes. We have lots of melons, galia and cantaloupe, aubergines, carrots, loads of lemons and a huge number of tomatoes. The bananas are very ripe and would be good for baked bananas, banana bread or smoothies. The extension dates for the lemon iced tea, microwave rice and lemon curd are written on the whiteboard at the side of the fridge. FareShare work with the manufacturers and then give…
