Ugly Duck Fine Foods have partnered with another Stanthorpe farmer to use up their lumpy, bumpy and oversupply of apples. Add some smoke to the mix and you get a perfect condiment for crumbly cheddar, blue cheese or even pulled pork.

Ugly Duck Fine Foods believe that food should not be wasted and we therefore source fresh ingredients farm direct, gathering up their imperfect and surplus produce. They believe that the taste and freshness of their ingredients are the only qualities that matter, odd shapes and sizes don’t. 

Most retailers reject any fruit or vegetable that are non-standard size, shape or colour. Large commercial growers and small organic farmers alike often face a huge problem selling their not-to-standard fruit and vegetables. Due to the short shelf life of fresh produce, a lot of fresh food ends up in landfill.

In order to prevent this unnecessary wastage, Ugly Duck comes to the rescue
