FARMS TO FEED US

CONNECTING WITH FARMERS FOR FOOD

We’re delighted to share with you the lo-fi Beta version of our new Farms to Feed Us UK-wide database which highlights the small-scale food producers near you who will be able to supply you with fresh produce in coming weeks. Farmers and small scale suppliers are out there waiting to bring you delicious food straight from a resilient food and farming network that is still flowing!

Many of the producers on the database exclusively supplied restaurants and have had to completely redesign their business to adapt to the changing situation during the crisis, and this database is their route to market. This database gives you details on who can provide you with well produced food grown locally on a small and sustainable scale, and also support those on the other front-line: our farmers, growers and fishers who are working harder than ever to keep us fed.

The database is growing every day as we gather new information, and as more and more farms and producers sign up, so please check back regularly. It’s designed to be lo-fi so you can print it off and write on it, for those neighbours and relatives who may not use the internet or social media, and we also have a website version in the pipeline, to follow in the next few weeks. This is a work in progress and we would like your feedback on what works and what doesn't, and what else you need.

This is our opportunity to help change a broken food system and create a sustainable supply chain. Our nations food sovereignty matters now more than ever before. 

Please share our database with those who need it. This is an open source document designed to be shared, printed, used. Pass it on. 

If you are a farmer grower dairy bakery winemaker fisher and would like to list your business, submit the details here. If you would like to help us and be part of our small volunteer team, please contact us.
