Food to Share – hereafter referred to as FtS – is a permaculture project established by Sonja van Driel. The aim of FtS is to collect surplus fruit, nuts and vegetables in order to donate to people living below the social minimum.

FtS has acquired an abandoned fruit orchard in March 2022. Its renovation includes saving existing fruit and nut trees, planting new ones and establishing a food forest. The surplus food goes unprocessed to food banks, is preserved or prepared and then donated to social projects. In addition, we receive a part of the harvest from owners of (food) gardens.
