The ugly box
Couldn't load pickup availability
We started these boxes when my oldest baby started eating solids and I realised how hard it was to find organic baby food that didn’t come in a pouch or a can. We decided to dedicate our seconds organic vegetables to the cause of helping feed our next generation & so the Ugly boxes (formerly known as “Mama boxes” were born 👶🏼
These boxes are for everyone and anyone wanting to eat real organic food on a budget, who don’t mind a random mix of goodness. Some things in the box will be great for purées or first foods, while other things will be great for you, as it just not the little ones that deserve to eat goodness, we all do 🌽✨
This box is bang for your buck! It is filled with seconds vegetables (and sometimes fruit) that wouldn't normally make the cut for our regular boxes but are still totally delicious and nutritious.
The goodies in this box are seconds because they are:
- Ugly, misshapen, small or really big
- More than two days since being harvested
- Excess of this produce at this time of year
Two sizes available:
Large - aprox. 10 seasonal vegetables (For example in summer we had Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin, silverbeet, apples, potatoes)
Small - aprox. 5 seasonal vegetables (For example in summer we had Broccoli, pumpkin, apples, zucchini, silverbeet).
The box is a seasonal mix so it’s contents will change week to week. Some weeks there will be more variety than other weeks depending on what’s in season and what is seconds 👌🏽
If you are purchasing this to make purées please let us know in the order comment box or by email so we can provide you as many suitable veggies as possible.

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.
Awesome to get the "mama" box - love the quality of the vegetables and the surprise of what is in the box
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!
We have ordered two mama boxes now and I absolutely love them, gets me using much more veg in my meals each night. While they are seconds still very fresh and tasty Great value for money. Thankyou little farms for doing what you do :)
