Food in Community – Lets Bring it to the table – Every week Food in Community rescues and sorts surplus fresh fruit and vegetables, and delivers boxes to charities and community groups in and around Totnes.

Welcome...

..to the UK’s first surplus food hub! For more than a decade our team has brought the community together to glean, grow, share and celebrate nutritious nature friendly food.

We partner with farmers, market gardeners and orchard owners to glean perfectly edible, surplus, sustainably produced food and to reconnect people with food production and nature. We also do some growing. This benefits our own community, and others through our network of charities and community groups, working on the ground with disadvantaged people. Our volunteers deliver solidarity boxes to households in need and transform some of these lovely ingredients into award winning food for everyone to enjoy at our pay what you feel dining events. Food in Community pioneered the pay what you feel dining format and ours is one of the longest running in the UK. We also run workshops – to join in – follow our socials
