How it works
Everything you need to know about your GRIM subscription
We've designed GRIM as a daily relief for your weekly grocery shopping. GRIM works as a subscription with full flexibility: that means you'll keep on receiving boxes without having to worry about when and what to shop, but with the option of skipping weeks and cancelling at any times.
We are convinced that we can sustainably contribute to a changed eating and buying behavior through boxes filled with ugly but healthy, 100% organic certified fresh produce that would normally be wasted.
Whether you’re cooking for yourself or an entire army, we have the right box size to match your lifestyle.

OUR SUPPLIERS
The guiding principle behind everything we do is to reduce the negative environmental impact of our food systems. Full stop.
At GRIM, every step of of our ingredients’ journey matters. Our team works hard to make our processes as environmentally friendly and delicious as possible.
We source straight from the farm. That way we can cut out many middlemen to shorten supply chains, so your produce is as ugly and fresh as it gets. By sourcing without middleman, we can pay farmers a fair price for all the love, time and resources they put into growing our food - also food that is ugly!
Our awesome farmers who are primarily located in Denmark, with a growing network in the rest of Europe. From freshly picked, slightly too thin Danish asparagus to oversized melons ripening under the Italian sun, you can be assured that your food was sourced with love.
At GRIM, all produce is organic, sometimes biodynamic. We believe that the way forward is to invest in a sustainable future without pesticides and GMO. By eating GRIM, we want to enable more people to live healthy and sustainable lifestyles. Go greens!

It’s easy to recycle responsibly, so help us keep your GRIM habit as sustainable as possible with these tips and tricks
Your veggies are transported in wooden boxes that are reused as many times as possible. Help us out and return your wooden box to us with each new box you receive.
Inside the box is a thin plastic bag to contain all the veg and prevent them from getting into contact with germs during transportation. This is a requirement from the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark. We are currently looking into replacing the only plastic bag we use with biodegradable material. In the meantime, use it for storing your veggies in the fridge or re-use as a trash bag.
You might know the green bags made of corn starch from your own home composting. We are using those to pack leafy vegetables that release a lot of humidity, like salads. Re-use them in your own green bin.
Sometimes, more delicate items that get easily bruised require separation from the rest of the veggies in the box to not get smashed, so we use brown paper bags to keep ‘em safe and sound. Re-use them to store your veggies that like it dark, for example potatoes.
For our pick up customers in Nordvest, we offer the possibility to take home veggies in one of our handmade certified organic and fairtrade cotton bags, so the bike ride home gets manageable and fashionable ;) Re-use them for your weekly shopping instead of buying single use plastic bags.
The paper we use for printing your weekly box leaflets on comes from responsible sources and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the EU Ecolabel.
