Imperfect Produce Expands to the Midwest

San Francisco-based Imperfect Produce, a mission-driven startup that is creating America's first major consumer brand for "ugly" produce and working to combat the issue of food waste, is expanding to the Midwest. The startup will begin offering customizable subscription box services in Indianapolis by May.

The subscription boxes are filled with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and range between $12 and $40 a week, depending on size.
