These boxes are for everyone and anyone wanting to eat real organic food on a budget, and happy to receive a random mix of goodness.

The Ugly box is big bang for your buck! It is filled with seconds vegetables (and sometimes fruit) that wouldn't normally make the cut for our premium Farm Boxes but are still totally delicious and nutritious. 

The vege in this box are classed as “seconds” because they are:

  • Ugly, misshapen, small or really big
  • More than two days since being harvested 
  • Excess of this produce at the time of year

Two sizes available:

Large - approx. 10 seasonal vegetables (For example in Summer we had broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin, silverbeet, apples, potatoes)

Small - approx. 6 seasonal vegetables (For example in Summer we had broccoli, pumpkin, apples, zucchini, silverbeet).

The box is a seasonal mix, so contents change week to week. Some weeks there will be more variety than other weeks, depending on what’s in season and what is seconds.

Please note that due to the Ugly boxes being made up of the available seconds vegetables on any given week, unfortunately we are unable to offer any exclusions or substitutions for these boxes. 

If you subscribe to this box there is a minimum of 4 weeks before you can pause, cancel or alter your subscription.

As our order cut off in Sunday midnight, subscriptions are set up to auto-renew every Sunday (after your initial purchase), to avoid confusion or paying over a week in advance for your box. Please make sure you have the funds for your order in your account on a Sunday. If your payment doesn't go through you may miss out on a box that week. If your payment does decline please contact us immediately and we can add your order to the harvest list manually and arrange alternative payment for that week if you contact us before 10am Monday. 

As our boxes are seasonal and local, we offer what is in season in the Wairarapa. This means we won't have vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes in the boxes every week, instead they will be in our boxes only when they are growing in the Wairarapa. We find this seasonality is really beautiful as it makes you appreciate when things are in season and connects you to the seasonal flow of nature.

Love it, beautiful ugly produce

Great variety in veges. Everything is very tasty. There is sometimes a large quantity of one type of fruit rather than a bunch of smaller lots of different but this feels very natural to me and we enjoy getting creative with the contents of this box!

Wow!

Love this box, such good quality & great value for money. The large mama box is more than a weeks worth for us (2 adults and a toddler) so I freeze any extras and chuck in lasagnes, curries, casseroles, for extra goodness. My baby is yet to start solids but I am excited to be able to prepare him organic goodness from these boxes.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this veggie box! I've had this consistently for a few weeks in a row now - it would feel wrong going a week without it. Fresh, great selection, delicious & affordable. There are lovely people behind the scenes of Little Farms & I appreciate what you do. Would highly recommend.

We get a mama box each week and we are never disappointed. We find it great value for money and it helps me to get creative in the kitchen with all of the different variety! Can highly recommend these boxes. Also I love the work the girls put in behind the scenes at little farms. I have watched them from the start and they are truly inspirational. Keep it up team!
