Ugly Duck Fine Foods

Ugly Duck Fine Foods is a business dedicated to fighting food waste. They were founded in 2015, drawing on German heritage and a family tradition of jam making.

Mission: To combat the large amount of food waste that occurs at the farm level, particularly “ugly” or non-standard sized, shaped, or colored produce that is rejected by retailers.

Source: They source imperfect and surplus fresh produce directly from farmers.

Products: They use this rescued food to craft a distinctive range of award-winning fruit pastes and salsas.

Process: Their products are cooked from scratch in small batches, with no preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors added.
