I'm-Perfect

Embrace Imperfections, Taste Perfection

Did you know that a staggering 45% of fresh produce never leaves the farm and ends up in compost or landfills? This heartbreaking statistic is due to perfectly edible fruits and vegetables deemed too imperfect by supermarket standards—too big, too small, or simply not pretty enough compared to their flawless counterparts.

Perfectly Imperfect Op Shop, a vibrant initiative supported by One World Charitable Trust. We celebrate uniqueness and sustainability through our seasonal selection of second produces. Our mission is to foster a community that embraces imperfections as beautiful expressions of diversity. Join us in promoting conscious consumption and making a positive impact on both our environment and the local community.

326 families

We are absolutely thrilled to share that in June2024, we were able to support a whopping 326 families with delicious, seasonal produce! By doing so, we not only prevented food waste but also helped to build a stronger, healthier community. It's all thanks your support!
