This awesome couple are responsible for those beautiful feijoas in your boxes the last couple weeks.

Nestled in the outskirts of Rotorua, their orchard has 10 blocks of trees, supplying fruit all season. When selling their fruit, they usually grade out the 'perfect' stuff to send to the wholesale market and the rest is sent for processing.

This season, we've been jumping in and grabbing the fruit that's too good for processing, but not perfect enough for the supermarkets - the 'misfits!'

We're lucky, since the climate is a bit colder where they are we're able to get feijoas all the way till the very end of the season

🤩

Who is been enjoying their feijoas?!

We are a subscription box with a conscience; we connect farmers and every day kiwis closer together.

Instead of telling growers what we want (which is how the food system usually works) we speak to them each week to find out what is already grown and what is needing a home.

In your Misfit Box you can expect the 'too big', the 'too small', the 'too misfit', as well as some damn fresh produce (the way it's meant to be!)
