He's described as five foot nine and slim with short brown hair.
“At 10am on Tuesday 20 September our son Freddy left our farm in Stolford, Somerset and has not returned home," a statement from his parents reads.
“We have been overwhelmed by the support of our family, friends, neighbours, and people who until this happened, we had never met.
“We would like to say to you all – thank you.
“Thank you for the valuable time you have given us, your support and your kindness.
“Police, coastguard and search and rescue have been and continue to search extensively, but so far, despite all our best efforts, Freddy has still not been found."
His parents add that people who know Freddy describe him as "likeable", "lovely" and "insightful".
"We just wish that Freddy could hear these kind words too," they add.
“This is an appeal to Freddy, to anyone who has seen Freddy, or knows of his whereabouts to please make contact.
“Freddy we miss you very much and want to know that you are safe and well.”
When last seen Freddy was wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans and brown ankle boots.
Anyone who sees him is asked to call the police on 999 and quote the reference number 5222227588.
