Helping tackle food waste, one delicious bite at a time

over 300,000 meals donated and counting

Every box ordered = one meal donated

When our founder, James, started Earth & Wheat, he was determined to build a company that would reduce food waste for good. That’s why, for every box ordered we donate a meal to those in need, via our charity partner FareShare.

So, if you’re reading this, and you’re one of our brilliant rescue warriors, thank you very much for helping us help more people in need across the UK. We really wouldn’t be able to do any of this without your support.
