Box Divvy, Social Enterprise, food box sharing online easy App connecting farmers & food wholesalers with the Food Hubs up to 40% cheaper than online supermarkets. So a Wave and smile from a distance on pick up. Community working together. To register for the Hub use this link
https://app.boxdivvy.com.au/register/hub/217
Box Divvy is Community owned and run. This is a fruit veg and grocery cooper
ative. We purchase as a group up to 40% cheaper than supermarkets. It’s a Smart coop and you get more of what you want than a normal coop. Box Divvy is a food box sharing system connecting growers & food producers directly with the Food . It is community owned and run designed to cut your food bill. You join online - there is no registration fee. https://www.boxdivvy.com/ You use an App on your phone or computer or a pad to order. It’s an OPT OUT SYSTEM so you must suspend an order if not wanted that week BEFORE START ORDER published. With Western Sydney Diabetes Alliance our aim is to provide accessible, inexpensive good quality fresh food.
4 DAY ORDER CYCLE –FOR Thursday pick up
Saturday 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 Saturday 9pm. Your “WISH LIST VOTE” and any changes you wish to make to your household size must also be done by Saturday 9pm. Sunday - Starting Order Published
Login take up to 3 things out and JOIN SPLITS. Tuesday 9pm - CUTOFF
Orders closed. Cards charged. 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. Thursday - PICK UP. You must pick up day of delivery at the pick-up time (3pm - 5.30pm) or arrange with Hubster. 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. If you have an order, thought you'd suspended, you did the wrong week. It must be paid before pick up. The system automatically charges twice and automatically sends emails letting you know if payment declined. There is a $5 recharge applied on the third attempt as it's manually processed and this fee goes to paying someone to manually process the payment. Please don't ask for this payment to not be applied. ORDERING SYSTEM - dead simple. You share boxes online using the App. It’s OPT OUT system so if you don’t want an order you MUST suspend an order BEFORE Order Creation otherwise you’re in the Order. 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 more you join Splits or share boxes. You can suggest a Box to share or your Hubster (the person who runs the Hub). Like 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 house for packing. You pick up from their place. FRUIT VEG Bread Eggs Order pay get this week
GROCERIES Order pay get next week due to fresh roasting of coffee, packing of goods on order. BREAD baker direct – Minimum HUB order Total must reach $30
GROCERIES wholesaler direct – Minimum HUB order total must reach $75. READ THE AMOUNTS YOU ARE PURCHASING
Check carefully if the items is single, handfuls, 500gm, 1 kg etc. Don't assume it's by one item. EXAMPLE: Cherries sold by the box. Don;' put 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. Also there is usually a SWAP box - if you forget to customise your Starting Order. You can throw in some apples and take out some carrots. You will get great value. COMMUNITY BOX - Many Hubsters 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 cancel 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 exactly. 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? EASY. 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 plus Starting Order . You can reduce the SPLITS or Groceries you joined BEFORE CUTOFF. PACKAGING
Much of the produce comes loose so do 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 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 farmer to you so manage this please. 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.

What does this look like to you? I'm unsure if I see a duck or something else. Either way it's super cute. Love
Our fresh vegetables support local farmers. They select their own prices and we take all the produce, even the ones that look like animals. There's not been a better time to join us. Give it a try today.

Theres a little bit of truth to this.
It's nearly spring, time to get out into the garden. What do you grow?
If you don't garden then you need to check out Box Divvy. We offer locally grown fresh produce, bread, eggs, a huge pantry range and a large chilled range. Our hub currently has a couple of spots. Members order on the app ( only order what you want), it gets delivered on a pallet, I pack each order and you collect from my home. Easy as.

We’re stepping up our pantry expansion: this week, we’re introducing…
Lolli’s Soup Mixes
Mayver’s nut spreads
Nutrisoy range of tofu and tempeh.
Lolli’s Artisan Soup Mixes: a meal on its own
Produced by Colleen Walters on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, these mixes will take your soup to a while new level. Or at least, they’ll save you time (and money) having to get each ingredient on its own. (Each variant has between 20 and 40 different ingredients – and all of them (except for maltodextrin) are whole foods and spices.
The packs look colourful – almost too good to open – but trust us: they’re worth it. Each one will deliver 10-12 serves (easily 2-2.5L) of thick and richly flavoured soup.
Available flavours:
Thai Curry
Italian Garden
Tex Mex Chilli
Split Pea
Mulligatawny
The Box Divvy price is $10 each ($13.95 elsewhere), which works out to less than $1 per serve. Please note: some flavours will need additional ingredients (e.g. bacon for the Split Pea Soup).
You’ll find them in Pantry ➡️ Meal Preparation ➡️ Soup, Stock & Gravy.
Mayver’s Nut Spreads: 100% nuts. I'm excited!!!!
We’ve ranged Mayver’s peanut butter and other nut spreads before, so what’s the story?
About a year ago, H2G was supplying us with Mayver’s organic peanut butter – but they always struggled with the Best Before Date (i.e. the stock was old by the time we got it), so we replaced it with Ridiculously Delicious Peanut Butter. True to its brand name: it’s truly delicious but also a little ridiculously expensive at over $7 a jar. Don’t worry, we’re keeping the brand for the true PB Believers – but since Cozzie Livs has started dominating everyone’s lives, we felt we needed a slightly more economical – but almost as tasty and honest-to-goodness-100%-nuts-only PB. But still 100% Aussie nuts. And that’s Mayver’s for you: no ifs, no buts, no maybes – but Mayver’s. And in addition to the Crunchy and Smooth peanut butter, we also offer:
Mayvers Pure Goodness Everything Spread – 8 different nuts and seeds
Mayvers Almond Butter
Mayvers Tahini Hulled.
Find them in Pantry.
And until the end of this month, they’re all 10% off their already low price.
New to Chilled. So its included in the chilled delivery.
Not just for vegetarians: Nutrisoy Tofu and Tempeh
Tofu and Tempeh are tasty and sustainable sources of protein. But there’s a lot more to it: tofu and tempeh are
Low in saturated fat and no cholesterol
High protein content
Good source of calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and selenium
Rich in isoflavones - phytochemicals that protect against cancer and heart disease
Heart healthy: 25g of soy protein per day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease
Beneficial for bones
So the addition of Tofu and Tempeh to our Chilled Line-up is long overdue. The range includes 5 different Tofus – from firm to silken – as well as some flavoured tofu. All but one are made from Australian-grown soybeans – and they are all non-GMO.
The Tempeh range includes 4 products, including a tasty Tempeh burger.
You will find them in Chilled ➡️Vegetarian and Vegan ➡️ Tofu/Tempeh.
And until the end of July, they are 10% off. Now, that’s tempting…

🍞 Introducing Kabul Star Bakery’s famous Afghani wood-fired flatbread!
👉 4 simple ingredients will transport you to a whole new world: Flour, salt, yeast, water.
⛸️ Also known as snowshoe bread (on account of their shape) these flatbreads are baked in a wood-fired stone oven - hence the slight charring.
👨🍳Baked by Asad and his family, they fled the Taliban in 2010 and set up shop in Auburn. His father and grand-father before him were bakers, and he is continuing the 40-year family tradition.
🥖 Some have described this bread as a hybrid between Turkish bread and Indian naan, but this description does not do it justice. It's soft, somewhat fluffy, definitely rustic, moreish, incredibly versatile, and despite the simple ingredients, they seem to stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can crisp them up in the oven, heat them in the microwave for a softer result, or even toast them.
🔎 You’ll find them under Bakery ➡️ Bread ➡️ Wraps & Flatbread. Two loaves per pack for a combined weight of around 760g. Baked and delivered fresh daily!!
🤎 I can already see these being a big hit!

I love delivery day
Box Divvy Calderwood Honeybee
Last week our members all took home boxes filled with fresh produce. Our hub is at capacity and is taking names for a wait list. It is such a wonderful feeling knowing that we are supporting Aussie farmers and getting amazing produce at reasonable prices, and that many more want to join in. We are always looking for new hubs. Do you have the room, time and love of Aussie produce to be a hubster? If you do, get in touch, I would love to chat to you. #boxdivvy #BoxDivvyCalderwoodHoneybee #boxsharing #supportlocal #supportthefarmers #aussieproduce
