Eat Weird Vegetables

"Eat Weird Vegetables" is the tagline for Misfits Market.
This organic only program helps to ensure that "ugly" produce
finds a home in someone's kitchen.

From their website:
"Almost half of all produce harvested in the United States is never eaten. 
 Fruits and vegetables go unpicked in fields or get thrown away at the store, 
simply because they don’t look good." 
We're getting ready to receive our third box and I can't wait.

One of the fun things about receiving the delivery every other week,
is not knowing what lies inside the carefully packaged box.
It could be anything in there!
One of the best features about Misfits,
is that they use as little packaging as possible.
The boxes get recycled into our garden walkways
to deter weeds and we save the padding for future mailings of our own.

This was our first order.

We got everything shown here plus a few other goodies.

The green beans and the pears were exceptionally delicious.

It feels so good knowing that it's all organic

and would otherwise go to waste.

I can deal with a few imperfections.

Another box contained Brussels sprouts, collards, kale, 
mango, yellow squash, (and a lot of other gems),

and the most crispy, sweet lil' apples.

Any items I wasn't willing to try or couldn't eat because of allergies 

went to a willing friend, who was more than happy to take them off of my hands.

Most of it has been eaten right here in our kitchen.

For right around $25, we get a great variety of organic produce,

delivered to our door every other week.

There have been a few things that didn't look too good.

It's easy enough to cut around the bad parts

and use up what's left.

I'm not that fussy.
