It is a company that gets imperfect, a less than round tomato, a apple with two stems, crooked grown carrots. Things like that. They get it directly from the farmers due to imperfection or a surplus.

You can choose the size box, small, medium or large. You can also choose how often you want a boc delivered. You can order organic or regular. You can get all veggies or all fruit.

I signed up for a weekly medium box that feeds 2-4 for about 20 bucks.

there are many youtube videos about it. They also have a website.

I just got my 3rd box Friday--and its ok I guess! I like that you can change the produce to what you want. I like that you can choose organic or traditional. The produce is not pretty, sometimes small and odd shaped and I did get a cuke that had started to rot this time. I get a small box every other week. Got some maitake mushrooms that I never bought before. Not sure I will keep buying or not. I do like the idea of not throwing away ugly produce. There is so much waste in this country. I seem to use up the stuff tho. I did get a huge butternut squash that was perfect but big, that I cooked down for soup. I think its worth a try. I spend under $20 per box, so that is $10 a week for produce. and I try to always buy organic.

Thank you for responding! I am so excited to try it. I ordered the medium box every week for now. Hubby and son eat everything and I mean everything. They love all veggies and fruit. So we shall see.

I've heard of this, and it's a common sense, enterprising business concept.

Don't know if it's available in my area, but right away I thought of the produce from my own garden.

While some things I harvest are picture perfect, many have a blemish or odd shape or need something trimmed off before cooking. That doesn't affect nutrition or flavor.

If I had to grow produce with 'visual appeal' for future sales as a top priority, I'd be growing that tasteless stuff.

imperfect produce is about all that's available in the grocery stores where I live! i don't need to order it online. if I want really good produce I have to drive a very long distance!
