Misfit Garden
“We’re on a mission to reduce food waste in New Zealand by bringing you, our customers, closer to our Nation’s farmers and growers.”
A fresh veggie subscription box that provides Kiwis with farm fresh and exciting produce, whilst fighting food along the way!
Taupo locals, Jen and Sofia, launched Misfit garden during the first 2020 lockdown with one mission in mind; help stop food waste. Buying direct from farmers, prioritising surplus and misfit shaped produce, and delivering a weekly box of goodies to your front door, Misfit Gardens is proud to be the first home delivery initiative in NZ to offer something like this - and it is cool to see that the idea has grown since!
Misfit Garden was born from the team’s experiences of produce markets in Europe & South America, “you can see beautiful, albeit sometimes funny looking veg for offer at every stall. It made us realise that we only ever saw uniform and aesthetically pleasing produce in the supermarkets in NZ. But why?”
Starting as a stall in a local Taupo Market, the initiative quickly took off and has grown into something huge!.. And we can't wait to see what the future will bring! We’ll be following along and looking forward to how our talented chefs make use of the ‘misfit’ veggies!
