By reducing the amount of fruits and vetgables that are thrown out simply due to not being pretty enough or a shelf, we are reducing waste in the food chain. Food waste is a major issue in the united states and taking measures at the farm level will greatly impact the industry in the long term.
Since ugly produce is not usually commercially viable, there is incentive to sell at a lower price than the sorted, prettier bins. Resturants, home chefs or simply people who don't mind the look can enjoy the same flavors and utility at a fraction of the price. We make finding customers easy for producers and finding great food easy for consumers!
Through lower wholesale costs, local businesses can save money while shopping locally; It's a good PR and good karma. Margins in the service industry increase, and farmers can secure more income to continue their difficult work. Food is litterally the fuel of the nation and supporting the food chain economically will always be a good choice.
Here is a moving testimony by one of our many, passionate customers.
