Welcome to Gather – the place to shop for the food you love,
grown locally and seasonally in North Lancashire.
By shopping at Gather, you’re joining a community working together
to build a healthy, resilient local food economy, complementing and supporting
existing food enterprises and strengthening the viability of small
local producers across our region.
Gather is part of the wider FoodFutures family and aims to sell food
which is good for people, place and planet.
Gather’s pilot phase is drawing to a close
and the online shop is now closed for the winter.

Could you host a community collection point?
We are interested in hearing from people who might be able to host a collection point in a community setting, so that orders can be taken to shared pick up points.
The pick up points need to be open and accessible on Fridays each week, with undercover or indoor space to store the produce for collection. If you think you can help, please email us at gather@lessuk.org.
The North Lancashire Food Hub is coordinated by LESS (Lancaster District) CIC in partnership with Eggcup.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and is part of the FoodFutures network.
