Despite the different weathers of the recent years, canny plot holders of Comrie have still managed to produce some plentiful crops of all kinds of vegetables.

Fundraising

Fundraising is an important part of the Committee’s and plot holder’s requirement in order to keep rents down to as low as possible. When available, we try to have a produce day sale where we sell all excess produce to the village with the plot holders selling teas, coffee and cakes to the public from Hut 107. This hut has kitchen and toilet facilities as well as a small seating area.
