Supermarket prices too high? Try Imperfect Produce!

Imperfect produce is a subscription service that will deliver locally sourced produce directly to your door every week for around 30% less than your neighborhood grocery store. Patrons have multiple size options ranging from small to extra-large boxes as well as your choice of organic or conventional produce. Boxes are fully customizable based on customer preferences so you will only receive the produce you want and need.

Imperfect Produce can provide food at such an affordable price point because they focus on purchasing food that is otherwise rejected by grocery stores for a variety of reasons including cosmetic imperfections, nearing expiration, excess inventory, or the products are undervalued. Since they have been in business, 40 million pounds of food were saved from being discarded simply based on appearance. Although the produce may look ugly, you will never receive bruised, moldy, or old food. The inspiration to provide this service stems from the fact that about one third of the food produced in the world is wasted. The unused food makes up roughly 1.3 billion tons! Out of all the uneaten food, fruits and vegetables are thrown away most often.

So, next time you’re grocery shopping and feel astonished by the high prices, consider Imperfect Produce as a cheaper, more sustainable, and more convenient option.
