Good & Fugly fights food waste with every food box, filled with seasonal, fresh produce direct from farmers. Major supermarkets have unrealistic beauty standards meaning many perfectly good fruits and vegetables go to waste (up to 25% of vegetables go to waste!). Food boxes can be a great way to eat seasonal food, support local farmers, and save time grocery shopping.

Good & Fugly offer veggie boxes, fruit boxes and mixed boxes, and their website offers a-maize-ing vegetable puns. You can also select box sizes according to your needs:

• A small box caters 2-3 people with 6-8kg of fruits and veggies
• A large box caters 3-5 people with 10-12kg of fruits and veggies

If there’s any food you don’t want, you can email them when placing the order and they’ll swap them out for an alternative. You can choose to order food boxes as needed, or they offer subscriptions with flexibility to pause, skip or unsubscribe at any time. At the time of writing (July 2024) delivery costs vary between $5.95 and $8.95 depending on your location. 

Sourcing from Australian growers also means you can reduce your carbon footprint by supporting a more localised supply chain.

Nutrition Rundown: 

Consuming seasonal, Australian-grown fresh fruit and vegetables not only supports the local environment and economy, there’s nutrition benefits too! The sooner food is available to eat from paddock to plate, the higher the nutrient and antioxidant content that is retained in the food.

Food boxes can be really beneficial for many reasons:

• Seasonal fresh food
• Making trying new foods more convenient at home
• Increased diversity of fruit and vegetable intake
• Improving gut microbiome diversity
• Reducing time spent grocery shopping
• Supporting Australian farmers and the environment
