Welcome to the South Pennines Food Circle.
Improving the regional food economy, respecting our natural heritage.
“Human society and the beauty of nature are meant to be enjoyed together.”

The South Pennines Food Circle is an emerging group of local communities, growers, producers and food businesses with a collective interest in improving the regional food economy in a way that respects our natural heritage. We will do this through the creation of community events, regional spaces and B2B opportunities. But how we do this ultimately depends on you.
At a time when many smaller food businesses are finding things difficult, and people are struggling to put food on the table, we recognise that this is no easy task. But we believe it is only by changing the food system one step at a time from the bottom up that long-lasting, meaningful change can be implemented.
