How are small farmers affected?
The main problem with the imperfect food movement, at least as it
relates to small farms, is that the market has become too large for
these farmers to compete. Imperfect Produce is doing its best to help
small farms by sourcing produce from farms across the Midwest €” the
company currently works with 25 small farms throughout the area €” but
the demand is higher than what these farmers can meet.

To help fill the gaps, Imperfect Produce has turned to larger farms,
which supply all of the demand and do so at a cheaper price. In fact,
the majority of the produce the company sells actually comes from Mexico
and California, especially when winter hits the Midwest. For all of the
farmers who are not associated with the company, competing with them at
that scale is nearly impossible.
