Farmers Pick: Your Go-To Source for Ugly Veg Delivery in Australia
Our customers save upto 30% every week on their fresh produce shop.
When it comes to a veggie delivery service, it’s clear that looks aren’t everything. The issue of weird shaped veg in Australia is a significant, yet often overlooked problem that demands our attention. Major supermarkets frequently reject perfectly good fruits and vegetables for failing to meet their unrealistic beauty standards. However, we see the value in these imperfect items and proudly offer them in our ugly vegetable box. These are the imperfect veggie boxes that contain produce with unique shapes, uneven colours, and all the fresh, delicious flavours that you’d expect from our dedicated Aussie farmers.
Discarding imperfect produce and weird shaped veg from Australian farmers, has serious environmental and societal effects. The resources used like fertiliser, labour and fuel to grow these items go to waste, contributing to climate change and depleting our resources. Meanwhile, this practice exacerbates food insecurity, as perfectly edible food gets tossed. By choosing an imperfect veggie box, you’re taking a stand against these unsustainable practices for change you can feel with every delivery.
Our ugly vegetable boxes are filled with a diverse and seasonal selection of the finest imperfect veggies Australia’s farms have to offer. Depending on the season, you’ll find an array of vegetables that vary from staples like carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes to other seasonal offerings. Because our produce goes directly from farm to table, you’re guaranteed fresher, tastier vegetables in every box.
At Farmers Pick, we spread the love of imperfect fruit and veg delivery far and wide. Our local hubs enable us to supply and deliver produce up the entire East Coast including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra. We make sure our ugly fruit and veggies delivery doesn’t discriminate by postcode. Pop in your postcode and check out which day we serve you. [link to buy flow]
Our ugly veg and fruit delivery service is as vast as it is reliable. Every week on your day of choice, your ugly fruit and imperfect vegetable boxes will arrive. Enabled by live tracking, and ensured fresh with refrigerated delivery, you can plan your meals around your imperfect fruit and veg delivery, making sure nothing goes to waste.
WHAT IS 'IMPERFECT' PRODUCE?
Nature is not a pack of straight carrots. When has mother nature ever been so predictable?!
We define ‘imperfect’ as anything that is knocked back by the supermarkets. Usually, these products are rejected for trivial reasons, like size, shape, and colour. However, we also take produce in when there is excess market supply.
This might mean a few marks on your capsicum, a bendy carrot or some big potatoes. But nothing too crazy. After all, it’s just fruit and vegetables.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Use our product selector, and pick your size, frequency and preference. Add some pantry items, select your delivery day and you’re good to go!
Then leave it to us to work with our aussie farmers to pick the freshest produce around. Keep an eye out for the delivery reminder text and wait for it to arrive on your door, ready to be enjoyed!

CAN I CHOOSE WHAT'S IN MY BOX?
We fill our boxes with seasonal produce to ensure you’re getting the freshest veggies in town. However, if there is something you don’t want or are allergic to, put this in the ‘Unwanted Products’ section during checkout. If your allergies exceed the limit of exclusion, please contact our support team so we can assist.
Existing customers can access this through the Portal here.
I HAVE ALLERGIES. CAN I CUSTOMISE MY BOX?
We are aware that many customers may have allergic reactions to some foods. At this time, we are able to honour omissions from individual boxes. However, we cannot guarantee that products do not come in contact with other allergens through the packing process. We recommend that customers with life-threatening allergies sign up for our email newsletter so we can advise when we are able to guarantee total exclusions of allergens.
