We all love a comedy vegetable...

Nothing brightens your day like a carrot with a cheeky protuberance or a potato that’s a dead ringer for Adrian Chiles. Buying unusual-looking fruit and veg saves money, too, because they’re classed as imperfect. Don't dismiss them as second-rate. Join our movement for change!

Vital support for our campaign

The National Trust is a charity that cares for special places – from coast to countryside to buildings. A commitment to sustainably produced local, seasonal food makes sense for the Trust, which is why it's supporting our Knobbly veg campaign.
