“Peri & Sons Farms is happy to be involved with Sprouts Farmers Markets’ Imperfect Produce Program because we also believe that too much perfectly good produce goes to waste, solely due to appearance, and contributes to our growing environmental and landfill problems. Also, the imperfect product line allows us to more efficiently fill our produce trucks which helps lessen our overall carbon footprint for delivery of goods.”– Peri & Sons
“We appreciate that Sprouts is committed to finding innovative ways to offer organic produce at lower price points, making organics more accessible. Their continual effort to work directly with growers is refreshing, and is appreciated by the farming community. Veggies are like people, they aren’t all perfect, but they ARE still awesome! The Rescued program helps find a home for traditionally “ugly” fruit, while simultaneously encouraging growers to continue to plant organic commodities. Thank you Sprouts!”

“At CMI Orchards, we believe that it’s what’s inside that counts. In America, as much as 30% of all apples and pears grown don’t make the cut, abandoned for cosmetic reasons. Yet inside, these pieces of fruit are sweet as pie and just as tasty and nutritious as you’d expect an apple or pear to be. Partners like Sprouts recognize that natural tree fruit grows in all shapes and sizes and wise shoppers recognize that imperfections should be celebrated. As growers, having opportunities to sell “the whole tree” – including blemished fruit that is just as tasty and delicious inside, helps to keep us in business. This is what a true partnership looks like, from the tree to the table.”
