13 B-Corp businesses we’re proud to work alongside
We’re so very proud to be a B-Corporation. B-Corporation, or B-Corp for short, is a certification for businesses who have a bigger mission than simply making money. B-Corp is for ethical businesses who want to make a positive impact for the benefit of people and planet. While we’re on a mission to reduce unnecessary food waste from farm to fork, here are 13 other B-Corp businesses making brilliant, positive change in the world.
TOAST ALE
Our friends at Toast Ale are doing an amazing job, crafting award-winning beer using bread that would otherwise go to waste. All profits go back to Feedback, a campaign group on a mission to change our food system for the better.
RUBIES IN THE RUBBLE
Zero-waste ketchup anyone? Rubies in the Rubble use fruit, veg and other food that would otherwise get wasted to make delicious planet-friendly condiments. Their plant-based mayo uses aquafaba, the protein-rich water left over from cooking chickpeas which would normally be thrown away.
HOBBS HOUSE BAKERY
A fifth-generation bakery, Hobbs House not only makes exceptionally delicious bread, they pride themselves on getting 95% of their flour from their local organic mill in a bid to support local farmers, organic grain and reduce their flour footprint. Plus, they operate on a no-bread-waste policy, donating any leftovers to help feed the hungry. They also give online baking courses.
REBEL KITCHEN
The plant-based alternative to regular milk, Rebel Kitchen’s Mylks are made with organic coconut cream, organic cashews, spring water and organic brown rice syrup. They work to question the status quo, challenging where our food comes from and asking how we can work towards more regenerative farming practices, focused on super healthy soils, ecosystem restoration and biodiversity.
MADE WITH LOCAL
Based in rural Nova Scotia in Canada, Made With Local makes snack bars using ingredients from local farmers and producers, from their local honey to their cranberries. They also partner with social enterprise bakeries that employs people who have barriers to the mainstream workforce. In making their snack bars, they’re helping to create a more inclusive and resilient local economy and community.
OSSA BONE BROTH
To make their rich, delicious bone broth, Ossa uses chicken and beef bones that would otherwise be thrown away. The bones are sourced from organic, free-range farms, slow-cooked for 24 hours, and enhanced with wonky veggies and apple cider vinegar.

EASTHALL FARM
Based in Hertfordshire, Easthall Farm is dedicated to promoting wildlife and biodiversity on the land.

THE FARM: BYRON BAY
Further afield in Australia, The Farm is an 80-acre working organic farm home to a community of growers and producers, including market gardeners, florists and an on-site bakery. Their restaurant, café and shop is supplied by the farm, and with plenty of adult and child-friendly workshops, their mission is to grow, feed and educate as many people as possible about the power of food grown in tune with nature.
