Introducing the Meaʻai Nani Produce Bag
Meaʻai = food
Nani = beautiful, pretty, glorious, or splendid
The Meaʻai Nani Produce Bag is a thoughtful solution for enjoying fresh, nutrient-dense, perfectly safe, delicious, and locally grown food while reducing food waste and supporting local farming.
What's Inside
The Meaʻai Nani bag consists of 4-5 fruits and vegetables, with a greater focus on fruit. These items are perfectly safe to eat. They may have some quirks or irregular sizes, or may be surplus produce that didn't find a market.
With the Meaʻai Nani bag, you can enjoy a delicious and sustainable choice without sacrificing quality. This smaller, budget-friendly version was created to offer an alternative to our larger CSA bag so that everyone has access to nutritious produce.
Make a Positive Impact!
By choosing this bag, you not only support our hardworking farmers but also help create a market for surplus and B-grade produce, making a positive impact on both your community and the environment.
Let's celebrate the beauty of imperfect food!

What is B-grade produce?
- Too big, too small, or just a bit irregular - Farms often have produce that varies in size and shape.
- Discoloration - We know that a little variation in color is totally normal (and has no impact on taste!).
Help us fight climate change by preventing food waste

According to World Wild Life (WWF) an estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste.
When we waste food, we also waste all the energy and water it takes to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. When food goes to the landfill and rots, it produces the greenhouse gas methane.
About 6%-8% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced if we stop wasting food.
Each Meaʻai Nani bag order not only provides a more affordable option to eat healthy delicious locally grown food, but also helps prevent food-waste and build a more sustainable future.
