Pennine Cropshare is helping to rebuild local food economies

We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.

Real food from real farmers

Our mission is to put local small-scale sustainable farming back at the heart of the food system we all depend on. We create local food networks all over the world that support small scale farmers and artisan producers.

Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital

We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.

The benefits of buying local

Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.

I always await my veg bag with anticipation. Great quality veg with lots of variety. Plus easy, interesting recipes provided in the weekly newsletter. I cook in a different way now, which feels healthier and more connected to the seasons.
