We had a first #Oddbox of fruit delivered yesterday. Priced against a major supermarket chain there's a distinct disadvantage to a consumer having a literal box of fruit delivered, but life's about so much more right?
The company's basic premise is that they take the fruit (and vegetables) supermarkets deem too misshapen, too large or too small, or with slight weather damage. It stops farmers having to throw produce away because of some ideal.
I think I can support this, at least for a while.
It's veggie/fruit day. Got our delivery and got them all put away. Oh, it's a little dark in the paper bag - red grapes in there. A nice treat, haven't had grapes in a while.
Might need to skip next week's delivery, as we're getting a little backed up on inventory and try to run a zero-food-waste household.
Got all of these beautiful veggies in my #Oddbox yesterday, fresh and delicious from local (UK) farms. Happy to be able to save perfectly good food from a bin with Oddbox, but how much of it goes to waste because of supermarkets 'standards' or ordering systems drives me completely mad...
The produce is tasty and fresh and feeling good about rescuing veggies and #reducingfoodwaste
@spacehobo @cabd nah.
Actually it's not wrapped and you go to the till, weight it, try to find it in the A-Z menu and boom!
Not sure we have farmers markets in our area (we are between two cities after all..) but we do have farm shops too.
We also get random fruit and veg from #Oddbox delivered. They're pretty cool too.
