Our partners work side by side with us; together we spark new ideas and discover new ways of doing things. We’re building a circular community of growers, farmers, producers and local businesses, and we certainly can’t do that alone.
WANT TO JOIN US? FIND OUT ABOUT PITCH UP!
In a circular community, one person’s waste is another’s business opportunity – so by all working together, we can support a well-balanced system for a healthier, happier future.
We work with start-up projects and established businesses alike – if someone wants to contribute to our vision then we’ve got the space to give it a go and help it flourish. Here are some businesses who are already part of our circle – and we’re also experimenting with growing lentils, carraway and poppy seeds with Hodmedods, and some different varieties of milling and heritage wheat with Wildfarmed, as well as miscanthus for Terravesta.
