Why Buy Misfit?
Help Farmers
Unwanted produce ends up wasted either in landfill, as animal feed or ploughed back into the land. Buying misfit fruit & veg helps farmers sell more of their crop and plan ahead for future growing seasons.
Save Water
It's pretty simple. Wasting food = wasting water. When you throw away an apple or a carrot, it is the same as throwing away all the water that went into growing it. Water is essential in food production, which means that food waste is basically a massive contributer to water wastage. Did you know that the average person throws away 77 tomatoes a year. That's the equivalent of 10 baths tubs of water!
Help Charities
We donate all our surplus and extra produce to charities. By purchasing one of our Misfit boxes, you are actively providing food for those in need. We also donate our surplus fruit to the two Kai Pantries in town. If you are a charity or food bank, and would like to receive donations, please get in touch.
Save Money
We source produce straight from the farm, cutting out the middle men. We transfer these savings over to you, by giving you the best price possible on your weekly veggie shop.
Eat Healthily
Vegetables are an important part of healthy eating and provide a source of many nutrients. Eating plenty of fruits and veggies may help reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and some cancers. Basically, veggies are natures medicine!
