We call it “ugly” because we make upcycled tomato sauce. The tomatoes are not pretty, but they taste amazing. Our “Ugly” sauce uses upcycled tomatoes to fight food waste — and make your pasta proud — they’re bruised, overripe, and full of flavor.

I explained to my customer that I was not a farmer but a small producer who sources produce from a network of 23 + farms and coops directly. We take whatever they deem as "ugly" or "seconds" and cook, preserve and pickle them into a pantry product that can be enjoyed by customers year round.
