Collect your box of fruit and veg every week from The Veg People, an environmentally-friendly organisation that the University helped set up in 2015

Vegetables

The Veg People – an organic box veg collection scheme which our University helped set up in 2015 – is available on campus every week.

The Veg People connect Greater Manchester people to sustainable growers through its veg bags. From small market gardens in the city itself to family farms in the countryside, their growers look after the land while producing delicious food for us to enjoy.

Staff can pick up their weekly (or fortnightly) veg boxes and fruit bags from the stall at University Place every Tuesday, from 11am until 3pm, or from behind the counter there every Wednesday, from 8.30am until 3pm.

The Veg People also have collection points all around Manchester, including Fallowfield, Hulme, Whalley Range, Withington and Didsbury.

To sign up, please visit:

Click the 'get started’ button and you will be able to choose which size veg or fruit bag you want and where to collect it from. 

The website also includes information on bag sizes, prices and all the collection points.
