Manchester Veg People

Manchester Veg People is a collective of local organic growers and buyers supplying Greater Manchester. The idea is to bring together organic producers and buyers, increasing understanding and therefore fairness in the food supply chain, and making small-scale organic production more resilient.

Kindling have been working with the founding members of Manchester Veg People (as part of a Sustain supported project) to find new customers for the group and secure a large stable market to sell their produce at a price that reflects the true cost of production.

For example, the University of Manchester & the Kindling Trust have been working to bring one of the City's largest food purchasers and some of the region’s greenest farmers together to increase sustainable food for the city.

Manchester Veg People is at a very early stage in its development but presently includes growers like Gleblands City Growers and Moss Brook Growers; Tom & Julia Rigby and Dunham Massey Organics as well as potential buyers like the University of Manchester and DIG Food.
