5/21/2023 0 Comments Misshapen food delivery![]() ![]() They sell locally grown produce in more of a CSA-style, which I like. When I look at produce box delivery services near me, I keep going back to Full Circle. Although I love Azure for everything else, some of my food was towards the end of its freshness, there was no ability to customize the box so I got a bunch of produce I don’t like, and some of the foods were impractical (fragrant young coconut, anyone?). The best parts: all organic, pick up with rest of order I wrote a full review with pictures here. They sell a Fruit & Veggie Produce Box that contains all organic produce and weighs at least 10 lbs for $40. I love using them for pantry staples and even recently ordered my garden fertilizer through them! Since I live in Washington, I’m able to get Azure deliveries every 1-2 weeks. Azure Standard is a company out of Oregon that delivers produce, meat, dairy, grains, pantry staples, gardening supplies and more by truck to local drop sites. Still hopeful there may be a way to order organic produce online, I recently ordered a delivery from Azure Standard. I’ve been skipping my weeks for a couple months now and probably won’t ever go back. I still get emails telling me to prepare my cart for delivery and once I start working through the list, I just don’t want enough of it to make an order. The best parts: organic options, customizable, able to order meat/dairy/grains Some of the produce was clearly towards the end of its freshness. The squash had been scratched up and damaged. The produce itself was disappointing, too. I was appalled that they would waste a box for so little food. I like the premise of Imperfect Foods – to sell misshapen or unusual foods that may otherwise go to waste. Yes, it was the same, full-size box as the first one…but with basically nothing in it. The other box…had about 2 pounds of purple potatoes. One was jam-packed full of our produce and meat. This seemed like a great way to save food that would otherwise be wasted and cut costs a little! Plus, I liked the idea of not leaving my house to get produce. I found a promo code for Imperfect Foods that gave me a discount on my first 3 boxes. It’d been years since I used them, and the market had changed drastically! Produce Boxes I’ve Tried Imperfect Foods ![]() My only experience with a produce box delivery program before was Full Circle, who delivered a bag of refrigerated, locally grown produce to my front porch. Since Misfits Market is not available in my area, I was not able to try them. I’d heard about produce box services like Imperfect Foods and Misfit Markets, and wanted to try them out. Produce boxes seemed like a good solution! I already love to garden and know lots of local farms, but I also wanted to know what my other options were. During the height of Washington’s stay-at-home order earlier in 2020, I wanted to find alternative ways to purchase produce. ![]()
