5280, March 8, 2021: Imperfect Foods Enters the Food Waste Market in Denver

Denver’s Mile High Magazine, 5280, announced San Francisco-based Imperfect Foods will begin servicing Denver this month with their grocery needs, specifically imperfect produce. Below are some excepts from the article regarding Strohauer Farms and Imperfect Foods’ mission, but check out the full article on 5280 ~

Last year, it saved 500 million pounds of food from landfills across 42 states and is now ready to expand its mission in Denver.

“Imperfect Foods hopes to give Denverites who prefer to shop online more variety and choice. In addition to partnering with local farmers and brands, from Strohauer Farms in La Salle to Justin’s Nut Butters and Boulder Canyon Chips, the company also offers it’s own private label products like chocolate-covered pretzels and unsweetened dried mango (made with rescued sunburnt fruit). “Folks in Colorado are really eco-focused,” says Adam Fishman, the chief growth officer for Imperfect Foods, “and they pride themselves on the commitment to building a better planet and a less wasteful society, so that that aligns very closely with us.”

Strohauer Farms is the first local producer to participate, and Imperfect Foods plans to add more in the future.
