Happy Scraps

At Happy Scraps, we’re all about embracing the circular economy by taking fresh, nutritious produce at risk of going to waste and transforming it into affordable, delicious meals for the whole family. Our Scraps-to-Table initiative shows how simple it is to turn what some may see as "scraps" into hearty, healthy dishes that support both our community and the planet. With The Happy Plates Project, we bring this concept to schools, serving up wholesome meals that teach kids and adults alike the value of healthy eating, sustainability and reducing waste. Don’t miss out on our Scraps Packs, perfect for those looking to fill their fridge with fresh veggies and a recipe card to inspire your next meal—all from food that might have otherwise been thrown away. Let’s make a difference one plate at a time, turning potential waste into positive action! Rachel Yeo, a passionate Smeaton farmer and hospitality expert with over 30 years of experience, founded Happy Scraps with one clear mission: to turn potential food waste into delicious, affordable meals for families and communities. Driven by her deep love for the environment and her commitment to sustainability, Rachel has dedicated herself to finding innovative ways to reduce waste, support local farmers, and inspire healthier eating habits. Through initiatives like Scraps-to-Table, The Happy Plates Project, and Scraps Packs, Rachel is transforming the way we think about food—one meal at a time.
