4 DAY ORDER CYCLE –FOR Tuesday pick up

Thursday 9pm – Order creation
It’s an OPT OUT SYSTEM so if you don’t want an order for the coming week, you must suspend prior to Sunday 9pm. Your “WISH LIST VOTE” and any changes you wish to make to your household size must also be done by Sunday 9pm. Friday - Starting Order Published
Login take up to 3 things out and JOIN SPLITS. Sunday 9pm - CUTOFF
Orders closed. There are 2 automatic processing’s, if those both decline - a $5 recharge fee is applied as it pays for someone to manually reprocess. You must pay BEFORE pick-up. Tuesday- PICK UP. You must pick up day of delivery at the pick-up time or arrange with Hubster. Home Delivery offered but please ask first. PAYMENTS
You must pay for your order once committed to an order cycle. Once in an Order Cycle we cannot withdraw an order. It is your responsibility to suspend the correct weeks. ORDERING SYSTEM
Dead simple. You share boxes online using the App. SUSPENDING ORDERS
When you tick the date, wait, it will turn red to confirm suspension. You’re expected to order weekly or fortnightly. STARTING ORDER
There’s a Starting Order based on your weekly ‘wish list’ VOTE and you can take out up to 3 things. Every week BEFORE Order Creation do a Wish List Vote to help Hubster (person who organisers Hub) to set up Starting Order. WANT MORE? SHARE BOXES known as SPLITS
If you wish for more, you join Splits and share boxes. You can suggest a box to share or to your Hubster. Such as saying to your group: “Who’d like to share a box of apples?”

At order cut-off you pay automatically online (Visa or Mastercard & Secure Eway Payment gateway) then boxes from growers & food wholesalers come to the Hubster’s house for packing. You pick up from their place or they may offer home delivery. FRUIT, VEG, BREAD, EGGS – Order, pay, receive this week
GROCERIES – Order, pay, receive next week due to fresh roasting of coffee and made to order. BREAD baker direct – Minimum HUB order total is $30
GROCERIES wholesaler direct – Minimum HUB order is $75. MEAT AND SEAFOOD (NEW) – Order every 4 weeks. READ THE AMOUNTS YOU ARE PURCHASING
Please check carefully if the items are single, handfuls, 500gm, 1 kg etc. Don't assume it's by one item. EXAMPLE: Cherries sold by the box, make sure you’re not putting in 5 thinking it's handfuls when it's boxes. Read the descriptions please. EXTRAS
There are ALWAYS extras as the box belongs to members so your Hubster will divvy extras when available. There is also usually a SWAP box - if you forget to customise your Starting Order, you can throw in some apples and take out some carrots that someone else did not want. You will get great value. COMMUNITY BOX
Many Hubster’s ask members if this SWAP BOX can become a COMMUNITY KINDNESS BOX given to a family in need. This is part of the Social Enterprise experience by being part of the Hub. NOT WANT AN ORDER? There are no contracts, you can suspend orders when you don’t want them. WANT EXACTLY 1 tomato 2 oranges? Then Box Divvy is not for you. This is a coop and things are in handfuls NOT exact items. You need to be flexible but you'll always get good value. We are a group of community minded people wanting to change the food system. Reduce packaging and pay our farmers fairly. By reducing our carbon footprint by 90% this means we buy in bulk as a group and then share it. We need to be a bit flexible. You will know roughly what you will get but you can’t get exact. We have a Packing Guide but the numbers will change as produce is smaller or larger. Mostly you will get extras overall. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I SPEND? You will pay the STARTING ORDER PLUS if you join in SPLITS or ADD Groceries. At the bottom of MY ORDER you will see the MAX you will pay if all your SPLITS get over the line, any groceries you’ve ordered and the Starting Order. You can reduce the SPLITS or Groceries you joined BEFORE CUTOFF. PACKAGING
Much of the produce comes loose so please provide your Hubster with a NAME LABELLED BAG: ALSO - calico/wash nets to put handfuls in (do not expect your Hubster to provide paper bags please): Bring in your old icecream containers, for example, for the Hub to put soft stuff in. If you get an item in plastic, recycle it in your soft plastic bin. We don't interrupt the packing from the farmer. Farmers are trying to work out how to transport produce and it can’t always be plastic free - for the moment. The Sugar Cane bags are not strong, don't last and definitely not airtight. Cardboard and paper fall apart. New technology is being worked on. NOT FOR ME
If after you’ve tried it and Box Divvy is not working the way you want, then you can cancel membership. So? Join our group to make a difference. You have the power to do so. Cut your food bill significantly – Wow! The goal: to cut your food bill, without compromising on the quality, freshness and variety of food. With minimal effort, minimal packaging and food miles, and still paying farmers and suppliers a fair price for their produce.

Be a part of something bigger!
Box Divvy have created the Farmers Recovery Fund.
Members donate, Box Divvy match member donations dollar for dollar.
Funds are then used to support farmers with interest free loans where needed.
The repayments are then reused and the money continues to fund loans to farmers in need. Like those who've suffered great stock losses due to flood for example.

In its first week, we raised $11,400 💪🏼

Are supermarket shoppers overpaying for Granny Smith apples?

Apples leaving a sour taste?According to an article in The Guardian, it appears that supermarkets apply much higher mark-ups to Granny Smith apples than to other varieties. The data on farmgate and retail selling prices was collected by Fruit Growers Victoria, and found that growers were typically receiving 50c to 60c per kilo for their Granny Smith apples, but supermarkets are typically selling them for $4 - $5 a kilo. If these numbers are correct (the article doesn’t state explicitly that the supermarkets are paying growers 50-60c per kilo, but with their dominant share of the market, it cannot be too far off), then supermarkets are making extraordinary profits at the expense of both growers and shoppers. Meanwhile, Box Divvy buys Granny Smith via a wholesaler (as most growers are in Victoria or South Australia): we pay $2 a kilo, of which we estimate around $1.70 goes to the grower. What’s more, we charge Box Divvy members $3.45 a kilo – 30% less than the $4.90 charged by Coles this week.
In short, Box Divvy is paying growers roughly 3 times more than supermarkets, and at the same time charging members 30% less. Go figure…

Of course, this is just one example: we have plenty more where that came from. Some fruit and vegetable growers have not received price increases from the major supermarkets in 15 years, and farmers are being pressured to fund recent price promotions, a Senate inquiry has heard. Over that 15-year period, fresh produce prices in supermarkets have increased more than 50% - so it’s not surprising that growers are watching a growing gap between what they’re receiving and what shoppers are paying. The gap is called ‘supermarket profits’.

Want to create a recurring shopping list?

From next week, we will be able to set up any number of ‘Shopping Lists’ or standing orders that will be automatically added to our Splits when the order gets created.

How does it work?

Set up any number of Shopping Lists.

Weekly for me, it's always eggs, lemon, garlic, cucumber.
Fortnightly for me, it's milk, mince, chicken, rice crisps.

Do you have a weekly meal your family eats?
Or an item that is a staple in each week's shopping?
A standard fruit and veg list?
You decide.

Set the frequency for each List: how often do you want these Lists added to your order? Weekly? Fortnightly? Or only as needed?

Once set up, the items in your Lists will automatically be added to your Splits when the order gets created.

Box Divvy is always listening and making changes to simplify the way we do things.

🍋♻️ Reduce Food Waste & enjoy Lemony Fresh Dishes! 🍋♻️

Don’t toss those squeezed lemons! After juicing, repurpose them to give your dishwasher a zesty clean and dodge the nasty chemicals in lemon scented products at the same time!

1) Quick rinse the used lemon to remove excess seeds or pulp.
2) Place it in the utensil rack or cutlery basket.
3) Run your dishwasher as usual. As the hot water circulates, it will interact with the lemon, releasing its natural oils and citrusy aroma. The citric acid in lemons helps break down grease and grime, leaving your dishes cleaner, in an environmentally friendly way! 🌱
4) Enjoy sparkling dishes and a fresh lemon scent!

By using every part of the lemon, you’re not only cutting down on food waste but also harnessing its natural cleaning power to keep your kitchen shining and smelling delightful. It’s a win-win for your dishes and the planet!

So, the next time life gives you lemons, squeeze out every last drop of their potential and give your dishwasher a lemony fresh boost. 😉🍋

Preview of what to expect your box to look like when Joining Box Divvy 🌿. This is a shot taken from a few weeks ago when I helped out at another Hub 🌱 Fresh, flavoursome fruit and vegetables directly from the farmers ready to be picked up by families who have saved on their weekly grocery bill, helped local farmers and reduced packaging, plus we got to have alot of fun packing the orders. What's not to love! My daughter Lyla was on board giving a helping hand and loved every minute of it 🌻 #boxdivvy #farmfresh #juicy #localproduce #weloveboxdivvy #community
