Wondering why we are sending these pretty colourful yams in your Misfit boxes?

We are pretty lucky to be working alongside a grower that is focusing on developing a heritage seed bank here in Taupo. These ancient species were brought over to NZ by Kiwi ancestors when they settled, and are in need of preserving.

So once the best of these yams have been selected for storage, our lucky wee hands can purchase the surplus!

Stopping food waste + yummy yams = Happy Lil' Misfits!

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!)
