We home deliver because it's easy and convenient for our customers, and even better, delivery is free in the Adelaide CBD and inner southern and eastern suburbs. You can use our postcode finder to see if we deliver in your area. We also know that fresh fruit and vegetables that have been delivered by the farmer to us then packed in boxes and delivered to you the same day, or next day, are far fresher than daggy, old produce sitting around shop shelves, at the wrong temperature, for days.
We only offer mixed boxes because our philosophy is that this is the best way to introduce people to the pleasures of eating high quality, seasonal, organic food. The mixed box system ensures you receive the freshest fruit and vegetables our growers and suppliers are providing that week. The fruit and vegetables change every week, and quite noticeably throughout the seasons of the year. Lots of our customers tell us they love receiving their ‘mystery box’ of fruit and vegetables and really enjoy the variety of fruit and vegetables.
We can certainly exclude certain items from your box if, for example, you're allergic to certain produce, or you simply don't like it. If we were planning to include that item in your box, we'll swap it and you'll receive another item of similar value. You can simply let us know when you order if there's something you'd always like us to exclude from your box.
It's a little harder for us to give you the option to include certain items, because due to the seasons and weekly growing conditions, sometimes we will ask our farmers for a particular fruit or vegetable and they are simply unable to supply them that week, or they can arrive to us in a damaged condition, in which case we are unwilling to provide them to you.
We don’t work to a set weight with the boxes. It would be quite easy to put together a heavy box that was not all that interesting (e.g. all potatoes, carrots, cabbage and onions, with no spring onions, apricots, strawberries or lettuce), but we prefer to put together an exciting range of seasonal produce, with lots of thought about what you can cook with the selection of vegetables included. We also can’t really tell you how many of each item you can expect, as for example, sometimes the apples are large, and we may pack four, and sometimes they’re tiny so we pack six, it just depends. Each box is packed by hand and scrutinized to ensure it offers a good selection, and a fair quantity.
Organic fruit and vegetables are grown without harmful chemicals, and so are better for you and your family. Organic food is by definition seasonal, and is grown the way it should be. Even better, it tastes great!
We go direct to wholesale supplies and local famers, meaning better value for your shopping dollars and less reliance on bland tasteless supermarket fruit and vegetables that may have been in cold storage for months. Whenever possible we support local farmers and producers and we will always tell you where your produce was grown.
Organic food results in less food miles, a lower carbon footprint and is great for the environment – what’s not to love about that.

You don't need to pay when you place your order, one of our friendly team will contact you by phone for your credit card details.
If you live in the Adelaide CBD, Burnside, Norwood or North Adelaide areas, your delivery day is Wednesday. You need to order by Friday of the week before you want your delivery.
If you live in the Unley or Mitcham areas, your delivery day is Friday. You need to order by Monday on the week you want the delivery.
Of course! We’re always happy to hear from you, so if you’re a first time customer, and you don’t want to use our online ordering system, please ring us on 0435 900 530. Once you have placed one order with us, future orders can be made online, by phone, by text or by email.
You can check our postcode finder to find out what day we deliver to your area. We group our deliveries by suburbs as we find this is the most fuel-efficient and therefore environmentally friendly way to get lots of yummy vegetables to families across various suburbs. We have also carefully chosen the days we can access the best produce, as this can be variable throughout the week.
You don’t have to be home for us to deliver your box. In general, if at all possible, we will put it out of sight from the street, and undercover (from both rain and afternoon sun). We often leave boxes around under the back verandah or pergola. If your place is a bit tricky to find or you want us to put the box somewhere specific, simply let us know in your delivery instructions. We can also take your front gate keys and/or entry codes if that’s the best way to get into your property. We are happy to deliver at a certain time for your first delivery (if at all possible) to give you a chance to meet us, before you trust us with your key and/or code. Please ring us if you’d like to discuss your delivery instructions.
You nominate your payment preference when you place your order. You can opt for us to ring you for your credit card details (we find this is the most secure way of you providing your credit card number), or if you've ordered from us before, ask us to use your credit card number from your file. You can also pay with good old-fashioned cash. If you're not going to be home, you can leave it out and let us know where you've hidden it.
We pack our yummy fruit and vegetables in re-usable boxes to reduce waste and the environmental impact of excess packaging. If your cardboard box is still in good condition, please leave it out for us to re-use next week, or if it’s a little worse for wear, please recycle it in your fortnightly council recycle bin. It’s a simple step to save our planet.
We have also invested in some (expensive!) woolcool® boxes for our dairy and eggs range. If you have ordered from this range, we won’t charge you a box deposit or ask you to purchase your box, but we really ask that you respect these boxes in particular. We have made a significant investment to purchase these boxes, which was a choice we made rather than use cheap polystyrene boxes, which are incredibly destructive to our environment. If you decide to discontinue orders with us we will follow up with you to collect our woolcool® boxes.
