What's the Truth about Deformed Vegetables and Fruits

in education •  7 years ago 

As a farmer I hate the fact that consumers want everything to look perfect. When I was vending at the farmers market I would take my 'B' grade tomatoes and peppers and made a little sign that said, 'Cosmetically challenged, need loving home' I sold so many of those just based on that sign. Other farmers kind of rolled their eyes. Consumers just said, hey we are all cosmetically challenged I will give them a home. It was great for me to not waste my hard efforts and the consumer got a heck of a deal to the point where they would come back just to look for them. Thank you for this post.
