Farmers struggle when consumers demand 'perfect' produce
Every year, farmers battle ridiculous and
unnecessary food standards.
But imperfect and surplus food is incredibly
common.
The result — perfectly good food goes
to waste.
“We’re not your typical grocery store.”
“I love the convenience of having fresh organic produce delivered right to my door every week."

Why Imperfect?
Q. How much does eating Imperfect cost?
Imperfect members often save as much as 30% on grocery items like fruit, veggies, olive oil, quinoa, coffee, and more. See our 4 custom box sizes »
Q. Are there any contracts?
Nope! While Imperfect customers subscribe to our service, they are free to cancel or pause at any time.
Q. What if I want to skip a box?
No problem! Skip a box whenever you want. It's easy to do — even from your phone.
Q. Who delivers my food?
We have dedicated, local drivers who deliver your food to your doorstep. On delivery day, we text you so you know we're near. Not at home? We’ll follow your delivery instructions as best we can.
Q. How are you different from other "ugly" delivery services?
We believe all food is healthy, delicious, and worthy of eating, no matter what it looks like. We are the only service that rescues more than produce from going to waste (bread, quinoa, pasta, canned goods, and more!).
And unlike other services, our customers have 100% control over what they order.
Q. I want to try Imperfect, but I’m not sure I can afford it. Is there any assistance?
Yes, we believe it’s important to make good food more accessible to all of our neighbors, regardless of income. Even if it means taking a financial loss for our company. So, while government programs like SNAP don’t apply to Imperfect (yet), we’re filling the gap ourselves. If you meet the income qualifications for SNAP, you are eligible for our Reduced Cost Box Program, which takes 33% off the cost of every order.
Your Imperfect groceries will cost less than half what it would cost at the grocery store.
Better for the planet.
Better for your wallet.
Help build a more sustainable future. Support local farmers and producers. And save up to 30% on groceries — delivered.
