I almost bought into Imperfect Produce, too, what a bad taste in my mouth that would have left. Thanks for the good read.

So when I was a kid my family made use of food banks. Now that I'm doing better in life I give a cut of each paycheck to my local food bank (The Alameda County Food Bank). I don't feel too bad about ordering from Imperfect Produce, it's convenient way to get produce delivered to your door, and I still wind up buying some things from the farmers market and co-op. On that note, it is good to know what consequences new business models have on the surrounding community.

Honest question: are there similarly convent ways to get produce delivered to your door that don't undermine the food banks' fresh food supply? If you can afford to pay for produce, why not pay for the produce that's traditionally been on the market?

Local CSAs frequently have a delivery, or convenient nearby pickup option.
Bit off topic, but does anyone know of a CSA that delivers in Seattle? I've only been able to find ones that have pickup options.
