We like odd, and knobbly bits.

Perfect doesn’t grow on trees. But wonky does. And big. And curvy. And dinky.

We're all foodies at Feather Down Farms, with much of a stay in one of our canvas hideaways being about rediscovering the joy of simple cooking as a family, with local produce. That's why we are proud to partner with Oddbox.

Oddbox rescues delicious fresh fruit and veg that may otherwise have gone to waste directly from farmers and delivers it to your front door.

Around 40% of all food grown goes uneaten, wasting with it, a humongous amount of CO2 and water.

If you want to reduce your impact on the planet by taking action on food waste, join Oddbox’s mission.

Eat Good. Do Good. Stay Odd.

How it works:

1. You pick your size- choose the box that suits you best- large, medium, small or extra small

2. They speak to growers and find out what needs rescuing each week - from surplus spuds to dinky apples

3. They deliver - overnight delivery included to reduce emissions. Straight to your door - weekly or fortnightly

Oddbox are offering 50% off a first box for new customers, using code FEATHERDOWN

T&Cs- 50% off first box for new Oddbox customers in valid delivery areas. Offer expires 31st December, 2022. Limited to one per person. Not available on Fruit Booster boxes.

Oddbox are aligned with our values of ‘Farming Matters’

Without farms we would have no food, of course. But also without farms there would be no rural economy and little stewardship of our countryside.

These are tricky times for UK agriculture. Organisations like Feather Down Farms and Oddbox give farmers a means of diversifying and growing their income.
