Farmdrop has a mobile app that consumers use to interface with the company.[7] HistoryThe earliest work in forming Farmdrop began with Pugh meeting with local farmers at their farms to acquire prospective producers to work with the company.[8] Various foods including organic foods can be ordered online and delivered.[8][10][11] Farmers and fishermen receive a higher percentage of the retail price using Farmdrop because no middlemen are involved in the supply chain.{{efn|"As of 2016, farmers and producers were given an average of 70 per cent of sale revenue through Farmdrop as opposed to 30 per cent from supermarkets."[12]}}[1][8][15] In March 2017, the company had around 30,000 active users.[7] The company was formally founded by Pugh in 2012 using around £750,000 in funding from other sources.[8] In 2016 the company received £3 million in funding. In April 2017, the company received another £7 million.[4][5] In June 2018, the company raised another £10 million.[6] Education campaignIn September 2016, Farmdrop began providing its "Farmology" education campaign, which provided information to consumers about the origins of foods. The Farmology campaign corresponded with the start of the school year in England. See also{{portal|Companies|Food|England}}
