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 markets, and new infrastructure initiatives. But how we do this ultimately depends on you.

What We Do
