Are All Of Your Pantry Items Short Dated And To Be Rescued From Landfill?Updated 7 months ago

At Farmers Pick, our mission is to create a fairer and more sustainable food system for Australia. We work closely with over 50 farmers across the country to rescue fruit and vegetables that would otherwise go to landfill—saving over 2.5 million kilograms to date!

We frequently rescue products from supermarkets that have short expiry dates and would otherwise be discarded. These items are available in limited quantities while supplies last, giving them a new home before they lose their freshness. Keep an eye out for our Bulk Buys or Bargain Buys in the Shop Extras section of the checkout or portal. 

Farmers Pick is more than just fruits and veggies; we recognise the challenges posed by supermarkets' strict 'best before' label restrictions, which lead to nearly 500,000 tonnes of perfectly good packaged food being wasted. These labels indicate quality, not safety—food past its best before date may still be safe to consume if stored properly. Unfortunately, retailers often favour these labels to encourage higher turnover.

In response, Farmers Pick steps in to purchase items from manufacturers that would otherwise be rejected due to these restrictions. We offer these products at affordable prices—up to 60% off RRP—for our subscribers, helping to reduce food waste while providing popular items at great value.

In addition to rescued produce, we also offer a wide variety of pantry goods as optional add-ons for those looking to avoid an extra trip to the supermarket. This decision was informed by recent customer surveys, which focused on areas such as taste, quality, affordability, and brand recognition for our pantry items.

💡 HOT TIP: Don’t forget, all orders over $100 qualify for free shipping! This means you can stock up on your favourite pantry essentials and fresh produce without worrying about additional delivery costs. It’s a fantastic way to maximise your value while supporting local farmers and reducing food waste… and a way for us to thank our loyal subscribers. 

By choosing Farmers Pick, you’re not only enjoying delicious, seasonal produce but also helping to reduce food waste and support local farmers. 

Thank you for being part of our mission to make a positive impact on our food system!
