HelloFresh and Social Farms & Gardens are working in partnership to help communities learn about living more sustainably. By growing fruit, vegetables and flowers in local allotments, groups of all ages can come together to find out more about where food comes from, learn gardening skills and enjoy the benefits of being in nature. We have also teamed up with JB Gill, Farming and Gardening Advocate to encourage more sustainable kitchen habits in UK homes.

In partnership with Social Farms & Gardens, a UK-wide charity, the initiative is designed specifically to support and encourage local communities to grow their own vegetables, reduce their carbon footprint and adopt more sustainable habits. The HelloFresh Gardens partnerships will allow locals to access seasonal produce and provide vital spaces for families to educate the next generation on the farm to fork journey.

The average household in the UK throws away enough food to feed five extra adults every week. In light of this, we want to encourage more sustainable kitchen habits in UK homes.
Each year, the UK wastes 9.5 million tonnes of food. Through our year-long partnership with Social Farm & Gardens, HelloFresh hopes to encourage locals to consider the amount of food they waste, through composting. With composting heaps available at all HelloFresh Gardens sites, users are encouraged to repurpose their vegetable cuttings into compost, or even plant the cuttings to grow as new vegetables.
