Well the food delivery didn’t happen, Kelli was pissed, she was straight on the phone to complain. The customer service person tried to pacify her with the same excuses she has heard a hundred times, but no more, she closed the account.
It was a shame, as avoiding food waste was something that we felt strongly about, and ironically Imperfect Food had just celebrated five years in business, so they obviously didn’t learn much in that time.
Kelli looked for other companies doing a similar thing, but they didn’t do deliveries in Michigan.
This did accelerate our own plan to grow more thing for us to eat. We had bought some potato growing bags, along with a bag of seed potatoes to experiment with.
We set about setting those up as per the instructions, hopefully we can grow enough for at least one meal.
We were encouraged to try because of a possible potato shortage next year. This is due to growers not having a market this year because of the pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of tons of spuds were left to rot, hence our attempt to support our needs.
I have visions of everything potato will be snapped up and stored next to what remains of people’s bog roll stash.
