This pioneering brand is fighting food waste, one curvy cucumber at a time. From stressed asparagus to out-of-season sprouts, Oddbox rescues and redistributes imperfect or surplus fruits and vegetables. Their mission revolves around transforming the way consumers perceive produce by embracing the uniqueness and character of “odd” fruits and veggies that might be overlooked by traditional retailers. Through a subscription box model, Oddbox directly delivers these rescued items to customers, thereby reducing food waste in the supply chain. The brand collaborates closely with farmers and suppliers, speaking to them each week to find out what they’ve already grown and what’s going spare.
