About Food Works Sheffield
Food Works is an organisation with a purpose. We want to create a world where food is produced and used sustainably, meaning that everyone can enjoy food that respects and nourishes the individual, the community and the natural environment. We are a volunteer led organisation with a small staff team facilitating the work of hundreds of volunteers.

Food Works Market - Collecting and organising surplus to make this available to the people of Sheffield through Surplus and Patron boxes. Food Works Farm - Growing food locally. Food Works Community - Building and developing our community of volunteers, customers and supporters. What it means to be a social enterprise.
