Award winning organic farm, Daylesford, has teamed up with food app with a conscience, Too Good To Go, to help prevent surplus food from going to waste.
The new partnership means food that hasn’t sold from Daylesford’s four Farmshop & Café sites in London is now available for Too Good To Go’s 3 million UK users to rescue.
Too Good To Go lets people buy surplus food from restaurants, retailers and producers to stop it from going to waste. They simply download the free Too Good To Go app and search for nearby businesses with unsold food. App users then purchase a ‘Surprise Bag’ of delicious food, collect it at an allotted time and enjoy it.
Sustainability is at the heart of the Daylesford brand and they strive to operate with zero food waste. The relationship with Too Good To Go is designed to complement Daylesford’s long standing charitable partnership with The Felix Project. Where food is not able to be collected and distributed to charities, it will be available for consumers to buy at a reduced price so that no edible food goes to waste.
Carole Bamford, Founder of Daylesford, said: “Eliminating food waste is one of the most important ways we can each help to tackle the environmental crisis and it’s an issue we’ve always been passionate about highlighting and preventing at Daylesford. Our farm shops and cafés already redistribute unsold food and send their kitchen scraps to be composted and used in anaerobic digestion instead of landfill. This new partnership with Too Good To Go is another significant step towards our goal of zero waste and I’m delighted to be working with an organisation who shares our beliefs and values.”
Jamie Crummie, co-founder of Too Good To Go, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Daylesford to the Too Good To Go community of over 4,000 UK partner stores. With their passion for sustainability and appreciation for good food, our partnership is a natural fit.
“One third of all food produced is wasted and we’re dedicated to ensuring that food is enjoyed instead of thrown away. By having brands like Daylesford join our movement, we can continue to spread the word and move closer to our goal of creating a planet with no food waste.”

ABOUT TOO GOOD TO GO
Too Good To Go has a simple mission: to make sure all food gets eaten, not wasted.
In 2016, a group of entrepreneurs witnessed restaurant staff throwing away fresh food. The food’s only problem? It hadn’t sold in time, and no one was around to take it off the restaurant’s hands. The group pioneered a seamless solution: an app that lists businesses’ unsold food so local diners can find, buy and enjoy it.
Now, thousands of Surprise Bags are rescued from businesses such as supermarkets, restaurants, and bakeries every day. The success of the app powers Too Good To Go’s wider efforts to drive a food waste movement, working with schools, industries and governments to build a planet-friendly food system.
Too Good To Go by numbers:
14 countries
45 million meals saved globally
25 million app installs globally
60,000 partner stores globally
2020 became a registered B-Corp

ABOUT DAYLESFORD
The seed that grew into Daylesford was sown over forty years ago when Carole Bamford recognised the importance and benefits of organic farming. The family’s estates in Staffordshire and Daylesford in the Cotswolds are organically certified by the Soil Association and are committed to sustainable farming. What began as a simple passion for real food and a desire to feed our children better has grown into Daylesford as we know it today, one of the most sustainable organic farms in the UK. Daylesford is dedicated to growing, producing and cooking real food, organically.
Daylesford has won hundreds of national and international awards over the years, including the Soil Association Organic Food Awards, British Cheese Awards, World Cheese Awards, British Cookery School Awards, the Great Taste Awards and a Grocer Gold Award.
