Did you know up to 25% of Australian produce doesn’t leave the farm because of their ‘imperfections’? But even imperfect fruit and veg deserve some loving, right? And the best part is, your love for rescued fruit and veg will help towards reducing wastage. The statistics are pretty alarming – in Australia alone, we throw away 3.1 million tonnes of food – the equivalent to 17,000 747 jumbo jets.
A step in the right direction, Good & Fugly are fighting waste by selling boxes of perfectly edible, seasonal produce direct from farmers that just don’t make the cut for the supermarkets because they simply don’t meet their cosmetic standards. It could be that your capsicum looks a little wonky, or your plums are too big or too small. But this is also actually a win for the consumer who much prefers to purchase their produce direct from the farmer.
So does it work? You simply choose the box size you’d like delivered (small is $39 and large is $59). Each week, produce may vary depending on what farmers have available, however, they aim to provide staples such as potatoes, onions and leafy greens on a regular basis.
Delivery is included in the price and can be weekly or fortnightly. Deliveries can be cancelled at any time. Good & Fugly currently deliver to the following areas in Sydney:
–Wednesday – Lower North Shore and Eastern Suburbs (Order must be in by Monday 9pm)
–Friday – Inner West, Inner South and CBD (Order must be in by Wednesday 9pm)
