Get ready for turnips, radishes, carrots. Even the mega-sized rutabaga. Plus, a bigger variety of apples, pears, and fall fruits like persimmons and pomegranates.

Get a look at all of the delicious fruits, veggies, and herbs you might see in your boxes this month:

I just got my first box from misfit markets yesterday. I was extremely disappointed because it arrived 2 days latre. I was surprised that the produce was still very fresh. I feel like I got my money’s worth. It all looked great. I will order again! I also had a doctor’s appt today and he got a huge smile on his face when I told him I started a subscription to Misfits Market organic produce to help with my health concerns!

Is there a way NOT to get celery in my box this time? The last 2 boxes have had celery of very poor quality. Otherwise, we have been very pleased with our deliveries. Thank you

Hi Barbara, yes! We offer fresh herbs in our base box and a number of premium fresh herbs like sage and rosemary in our Marketplace for an additional cost.

This is the BEST option for getting fresh veggies in your home and to stop the waste of perfectly great groceries. The fruits and vegetables that we’ve received since subscribing to Misfits is simply OUT OF THIS WORLD! Choosing from the out of the ordinary or letting them decide what to ship makes all your creative juices flow to the max. I am far more creative and happy with my meal planning now that I’m using Misfits. THANK YOU FOR COMING UP WITH THIS INCREDIBLE IDEA! I increased my order from the smaller box to larger within one month of subscribing because we simply can’t get enough of the wide range and super value 😀 OUTSTANDING JOB MISFITS!

I really wanted to like Misfits Market because I believe in the mission. So when the first box showed up with a couple pieces that needed to be tossed, I thought it was a fluke. When the second box came and included spoiled produce, I started to wonder if it was the packaging and maybe it wasn’t cold enough, etc and still wanted to support your business.
My third and final box arrived with broken chips, crushed Kind bars, a soaked bag of loose tea, mold on the grapes, 2/3 a box of mushy strawberries, bruised apples, and crushed swiss chard (heavy items were placed directly onto the leaves). Any fruit not rotten upon arrival had a lifespan of a day or 2 before it joined the rest in my compost.
I no longer think it’s something happening during shipping. I think you purchase old produce that grocery stores are about to toss, shove them into a box without a care about what you will crush, and then ship out to people concerned about the environment and food waste.
Can you imagine the irony and disgust, on the part of the customer, who invests in the idea of reducing food waste….only to have to toss half the food they just bought from you the day it arrived? If you are going to pack and ship overripe food that has passed its shelf life, then own it instead of pretending it is fresh but “ugly.”

Hi, I am a senior but I would love to try your service. Do I choose what I want and the amount that I will receive?

Hi Noreen, we’re so glad to hear that you’re interested in Misfits Market! Yes, once you sign up, you can choose what goes into your base box based on what we’ve rescued that week. Additionally, you can shop our Marketplace, which has additional pantry staples and premium produce, where you can determine how much is added. Check out our homepage, which explains how you build your box: https://www.misfitsmarket.com/

Thank you! We’re so excited that you’ll give us a try!

Is it possible to change to my plan after I sign up, if I find I need to adjust the amount and frequency of my box order? Thanks!

The temperature drops well below freezing where I live. What measures do you take to prevent the vegetables from freezing during delivery?

Hi Sandy, great question! Rest assured that all of our boxes are filled with liner that’s appropriate for the weather.

So when I customize by box, are those things I select the ONLY things that will be in the box? Or does Misfits Market select additional produce? Because half of what’s on this list was not an option to add, even though I logged in exactly at the time my customization opened.

Hi Alex, great question! We only have a certain number of each items based on what we were able to rescue that week. That’s the beauty of Misfits Market! We are farmer-led and only sell what we can rescue. That does mean some things are on a first come, first served basis. Then, after you select your produce, there are times when we have to make substitutions for a number of reasons. Perhaps a shipment was delayed to our facility or we weren’t able to rescue enough produce to fulfill customized orders. We do try our best to fill all boxes with exactly what each customer has picked.

If you have any additional questions about our sourcing or customization process, please fill out a ticket with our customer success team here: https://help.misfitsmarket.com/contact/custom-contact-form-S1NAIK1Iw It will be added to our queue and our team will be in touch with you via email as soon as they can.

My first delivery date is on Thanksgiving. Will it be delivered then, or the day before or after?

Hi Debbie! Great question. We do expect to see some delays in shipping, so we are shipping some boxes early. Please check your account page, which will have delivery and shipping information regarding your upcoming box. Additionally, we are sending out emails regarding Thanksgiving shipping, so keep an eye on your inbox today. Thanks!

Hi Joyce, great question! You do have to sign up for a subscription to try a box. However, you can easily change your subscription preferences while you decide if you want to keep using Misfits Market. If you’d like to pause or cancel your subscription, please log in and visit your account page here: https://www.misfitsmarket.com/account Then, scroll down to “Your plan” and click “Manage” where you’ll be able to change your subscription preferences. Thank you!

I would like to try a Misfits Subscription but when I asked the question to my Facebook friends and family, I got more bad reviews than good. Most of them saying that the produce in the boxes has had either mold or is close to rotting. They all have cancelled their subscription because of this. I’d like to try but don’t want to waste my time if this is the case. They also said that customer service was lacking and nearly impossible to reach. Convince me to try this out.
