Back in 2016, our founders, Emilie and Deepak, tasted an ugly-but-delicious tomato at a market in Portugal. They realised we only ever see perfect-looking fruit and veg in supermarkets, and it tastes of nothing. They decided to dig deeper into how the food system works – and everyone at Oddbox is working to flip it on its head.

Farmers grow delicious fruit and veg, but it’s rejected because it’s “too odd” or “too many”. We make sure it doesn’t go to waste, and deliver it to doorsteps all over the UK along with loose refillables, flavour-packed ingredients and so much more. We want to help everyone do good, with food that tastes good.

So we’re getting back to cooking that’s joyful, creative and waste-free – and we’re getting back in tune with what’s growing outside the window, and the folks that grow it. We may be a little odd, but that all makes total sense to us. 

From humble beginnings with a handful of customers, we now work directly with farmers and sustainable brands to deliver thousands of boxes of fantastic fruit, veg and more every week, with the community growing bigger and stronger every day. 

We're now on the hunt for passionate individuals to join us in our mission to fight food waste.

Oddbox was founded to break down some of the the bias directed towards totally delicious produce.

We feel pretty similarly about people, although we'd never call you delicious. No-one is "too wonky", "too big", "too small", "too many" or "too out of season" to join our team of food waste fighters.

Or, in non-veg terms, we actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills and stories to join us.
