About Wonky Box

A fruit and vegetable box service based at 17 Saleyards Road in Ōtāhuhu, Auckland, that rescues produce which would otherwise go to waste. Its boxes hold the "too big", "too small", "too ugly" and "too many" fruit and vegetables that supermarkets pass over, such as leeks from Pukekohe, tamarillos from Northland, kiwifruit from the Bay of Plenty and Hawke's Bay, and citrus from Gisborne.

Customers subscribe to a box, and can remove items they do not want or add planet-positive picks. The range has four box types: Good Groceries, which covers the wider weekly shop with snacks, meat and local cheese; Wonky Flowers; Farmer's Meat Boxes; and gift cards. Refills and plastic-free packaging are part of the range. The company says it delivers across the country, including rural areas, but delivery depends on the postcode, and an area not yet served can join a waiting list.

Boxes are packed for delivery to the doorstep, and the company works directly with Kiwi growers, farmers and makers.
