Why does the produce look different than in the grocery store?

Much like an assembly line, conventional grocery stores demand that produce be uniform in size, shape, and color, skewing our expectations for how produce should look. Disadvantages of this conventional system include excessive waste and unnatural farm practices focused on appearance instead of flavor. Our farmers plant a wide variety of different heirloom seeds which can produce crops that vary significantly from what might be available at the typical grocery store. In addition to these unique varieties we also receive fruits and vegetables in a range of sizes and ripeness, from green tomatoes and tiny baby zucchini to 5 pound heads of lettuce!
