Got my first Misfits Market delivery this afternoon

I used to belong to an organic produce group that would deliver every 2 weeks. You never knew what you were going to get but it was always a good assortment of seasonal fruits and vegetables. The problem is that it just got to be expensive--$52 per box when I finally gave it up. I've been seeing ads for Misfits Market on Facebook for the past month and I finally got curious about it. They say that "ugly" produce needs love too. There are 2 box sizes to choose from: 10-12 pounds for $19 or 18-20 pounds for $34. Everything is organic and you can select if you want your deliveries to be every week or every other week. I received my box today and was very pleased with the selection and the fact that everything looked pretty much perfect. I was expecting some funky stuff! The butternut squash had a bit of a crack in it but nothing that would make me not want to buy or eat it. The selection today included: collard greens, baby spinach, grape tomatoes, butternut squash, green peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, a turnip, potatoes, limes, pears, and oranges. I like all everything except the collards but my parrot will happily eat those. I am definitely going to continue this subscription. It is perfect for my lifestyle!

I don't think so. I think it is only NJ, NY, and PA right now but their site has a waiting list that you can add your email to so you will be informed if/when they start servicing your area. It only makes sense that they would soon enough since you live in an area where things are growing all the time.

@NJChicaa I do live in a weird place for those types of things. Our Walmart just got cardside to go.

@thislittlepennyearns Well this is shipped right to your door. It came here from Philadelphia, PA. I think it is just a matter of them developing a network with distributors to obtain the produce and then getting set up.

Wow! $52 every two weeks does sound like a lot, but you're getting a great deal now. I wonder if they have that around here.

I think it is just in this tri-state area at the moment but they have a waiting list that you can put your name on so you are notified if/when it becomes available in your area. Seems like something that would be perfect for CA with all of the agriculture you guys have there.

I agree and they were labeled as "ugly"

What has been sent to you makes me think of Master Chef and Junior Chef. Every chef will be given a box with mystery ingredients in there and it will depend on the chef what he or she can make out of those ingredients 8-)

Well I wouldn't be able to whip up much spur of the moment with the box but I will use it all over the next 2 weeks.

That is a huge cost difference between what you paid with the organic produce place. A friend of mine on Facebook loves the Misfits Market and always posts what she gets. It looks like you got more in your box then she does so I assume you went with the larger size box? I agree the things you look really look pretty much perfect. Hers have been a little odd shaped. Maybe they gave you a good box to get you hooked

It is very much like the organic boxes that I used to get--a nice mix of things.
