Egg-citing News: There's a New Arrival in Our Boxes

Which came first – the chicory or the eggs? From this week, you can order both in one go as we’re now rescuing fresh, free-range eggs from fellow British B Corp St. Ewe.

We want to make shopping with Oddbox as easy and convenient as possible – so if there’s a chance to get more of your weekly essentials in one go, we’re all for it.

But as with everything we do, convenience can’t come at the expense of environmental or ethical commitments. Which means being super-picky about who we partner with – and only choosing the very best of the nest.

Meet St. Ewe

St. Ewe is a multi-award winning egg producer with a big focus on animal welfare. In their words: “We look after our girls in the best way possible and in turn they look after the eggs that look after you.”

Based in Cornwall, with family values at their heart and nutrition at their core, they only work with like-minded British family farmers who give the hens the outdoor lifestyle they deserve.

Every single St. Ewe hen egg comes from a happy, free-ranging bird that has the freedom and plenty of space to forage and roam in clean, fresh air.

And in March 2025, St. Ewe became Europe’s first egg packer to achieve B Corp Certification – a huge milestone, reinforcing their leadership in UK food security and sustainability.

“Too big”, “too odd”, “too many”

We’re used to talking about cosmetic specs and supply/demand challenges when it comes to apples and spuds. But did you know that egg suppliers can face similar issues?

St. Ewe are committed to taking all eggs from their farmers. But as retailers often have volume demands – and as packs of eggs tend to be uniform rather than mixed – this can lead to them having “too many” of a certain size or colour.

Just like with eggplants and oranges, we’re more flexible than other buyers – which is why we’re rescuing a mixture of medium and large eggs, and a variety of colours, each week. We’ve been told we might even see the occasional blue egg – how deliciously odd is that?

An egg box in an Oddbox

It’s not just what’s inside the box that counts – St. Ewe are the only egg packers to use corrugated egg cartons, which help reduce the number of eggs that are wasted along the supply chain.

The boxes are produced using 100% renewable energy by a B Corp certified manufacturer. And the paper used is 100% recycled, 100% recyclable and 100% compostable – and printed with mineral oil-free inks. Our kind of standards.

Freshly laid dishes

And if you do rescue a carton or two from St. Ewe, be sure to have a go at our new recipes – including Blueberry Clafoutis, Beetroot Frittata and Maple Citrus Pancakes. Oddbox unpacked. Apron on. And let’s get cracking.
