Edorable and Arthur Houston

Tuesday, August 11th, 2015

Our grower Arthur Houston recently met with Edorable’s Ben Whitehead to discuss waste fruit and to pick just a few raspberries.

Edorable is a new social enterprise (backed by UnLtd) that aims to create sustainable changes in order to help reduce food waste.  Deliciously healthy snacks are made using surplus produce.  Ben dehydrates the fruit to sell where a proportion of profits will be donated to charities tackling food poverty.

Both Arthur Houston and MKG were thrilled to support Ben’s new enterprise and very much hope to see him during the apple season.

If you have surplus fruit or can provide an introduction to someone who does, please contact Ben at ben@edorable.org
