Hub name: ACT - Evatt - Clancy

Box Divvy is Community owned and run. This is a fruit veg and grocery coope

rative. 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. Working with Western Sydney Diabetes Alliance - our aim is to provide accessible, inexpensive good quality fresh food. How it works:
Start Order is roughly $25-$30 and you can take up to 3 things out. You get to Vote for Start Order contents each week. How much you get is based on household size but you'll always get more than what you paid for in the Start Order. THEN
SPLITS (Let's SPLIT share a box). More fruit & veg, groceries, bread, eggs, meat etc. Put up 1 or 2 boxes and look at what others want to share and join them. You'll get great value, supporting farming families whom you'll get to know.

4 DAY ORDER CYCLE – FOR Wednesday pick up

Friday 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 Friday 9pm. Your “WISH LIST VOTE” and any changes you wish to make to your household size must also be done by Friday 9pm. Saturday - Starting Order Published
Login take up to 3 things out and JOIN SPLITS. Monday 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. Wednesday - PICK UP. You must pick up day of delivery at the pick-up time 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. 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? 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 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.

I love seeing all the different ways people are using the Afghan bread. Thanks for sharing yours Box Divvy Farmborough Heights - Ashley 😋

Look how beautifully fresh and vibrant the colours are in this member's box!

16/07/2024

Pack day has rolled around again...another week gone by without the need to visit a supermarket 😍
We have HUNDREDS of non fruit 'n veg items available to our members.

A snapshot of what's hot and what's not on this week's Box Divvy menu.
I have one space available in my hub ... does it have your name on it?

💚 A new product on the Box Divvy menu this week - Kabul Star Bakery's famous Afghan Bread.
4️⃣ Containing just 4 simple ingredients: Flour, salt, yeast, water.
🍞 Baked by Asad and his family; they fled the Taliban in 2010 and set up shop in Auburn, NSW. His father and grandfather before him were bakers, and he is continuing the 40-year family tradition.
😮 Look at the size of it - it's half my height! You get two of these per pack, for the bargain price of $4.58

26/06/2024

And here's the view on the opposite side of the garage at the opposite end of the day!
Today was a huge pack for me - just short of 1,500 items - all now in the homes of happy hub members 😊

26/06/2024

Today me is grateful for yesterday me, who remembered that she had a solitary Russian sausage roll in the freezer from last week's chilled delivery!
I often don't have breakfast, or lunch, on my pack days, 'cos I get stuck in to the packing as soon as the truck arrives, and forget that I'm hungry!
I predict more Shepherd's Artisan Bakehouse sausage rolls in my future packing days! These are so tasty, with the flakiest pastry 😋

25/06/2024

More beautiful colours in the sky this morning while I waited for the truck - much warmer this week, it was above zero!!

21/06/2024

Each week I share a market update with my hub, created with information that Box Divvy sends every hubster in a weekly newsletter.
💚 I love that they give us a bit of extra info, like bananas are only likely to be this cheap this week...so if I want to stock up and make a few banana breads, now's the time to do it.
❤️ I may have wanted to make zucchini slice, with a nice cucumber and tomato salad, but I might hold that thought for a few weeks, while I wait for the prices to drop.
❌ You don't get this kind of information from Colesworth each week; just another reason why I love Box Divvy and all it stands for in support of our Aussie farmers.

It's Divvy Day again. It's currently minus 4 degrees and I'm enjoying the colours in the sky while I wait for our friendly driver, Moe, to arrive with the goods!

15/06/2024

We decided on the Russian sausage rolls 😋 served with a dollop of my home-made 🍅 ketchup
✅️ Very, very tasty
✅️ Delightfully flaky pastry
✅️ Amazing value ($21 for 5)
💯 definitely buying these again!
😮 The Classic Homestyle sausage rolls are only $16 for 5 - even better value!
Thank you Shepherd's Artisan Bakehouse

15/06/2024

My chilled order just arrived and I can't decide what to heat & eat first - lamb shank and red wine pies, or Russian sausage rolls 🤔 Decisions, decisions...
Freshly made by Shepherd's Artisan Bakehouse - thank you!

I just saw this "lazy hack" for baking pumpkin ready to use in your choice of soup for winter and thought it's too good not to share! This is a great hack for anyone, but particularly people who live with arthritis or similar issues. All you need to do is this:

- Place the whole pumpkin on a lined baking tray in a moderate oven for up to an hour
- Check after approximately 45mins
- Bake until the skin starts blistering and juices start leaking
- Leave to cool completely
- Slice like a cake, discard seeds and peel the skin off

Minimal effort, maximum flavour!

Your pumpkin is now ready to use in your favourite winter soup recipes. You could even brush the slices with some oil/honey/maple syrup, bake again briefly to get some caramelisation happening, before then adding to your soup.

I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again! I love how we're provided with information about the real people behind the fresh fruit and veg that we buy each week. This week we've been introduced to a new cucumber grower, to help boost the supply from our existing supplier.
Basil grew up in Iraq and was a practising architect there – but in Australia, it’s difficult to get his qualifications recognised, so he started growing vegetables. And he hasn’t looked back! He's set up polytunnels on his property so he’s more resilient against adverse weather conditions. Box Divvy tried his cucumbers this week - the verdict? “Unbelievably sweet”. Box Divvy, spreading the love between farmers.

When Box Divvy's meat supplier (Handler Meats) recently offered us a special price on his Brazilian Picanha Steak, I couldn't resist!
I chose to roast mine, rather than doing the traditional folded steak method. I cooked it at 200 degrees for about an hour (until it reached 54 degrees), then rested it for about 10 minutes. It was so beautifully tender and juicy.
I served it with an Ottolenghi Beetroot salad and roast potatoes. I had the last of my now 7-week old cos lettuce and a couple of cucumbers to use up, so added those to the plate too.
✅ Box Divvy's standard price is $31.25 (roughly $22 per kg for a 1.4kg cut).
💲 Our special price for this beauty was $25 and mine weighed 1.7kg.
❌ At both Coles and Woolies, they are selling a pack of two small steaks at $35 per kg!

Let's play a game! Kind of like "Pin the tail on the 🐴 donkey", but this is "Guess the age of the 🥬 lettuce"! OK, I'll make it multiple choice to help you out a bit...is it:
a) 3 days old
b) 1 week old
c) 6 weeks old
And the answer is "c"!
Yep, 6 weeks ago was the last time I ordered a Cos lettuce, and this one arrived in my 17 April delivery. I used some of it to make sushi for lunch tomorrow and the rest went back in the fridge!
By the way, the sashimi-grade salmon from Box Divvy is 👌🤤

❄️ At this time of year it's hard to get really ripe tomatoes. 🍅 Nagi has you sorted with this recipe she published today - and Box Divvy has you sorted with the ingredients!
Smoky Roasted Tomato Soup

This roasted tomato soup is incredibly simple to make. Just blitz roasted smoked paprika tomatoes in vegetable stock then warm it through!

Thanks Box Divvy The Oaks - Caley for this post - I'm a huge fan of RecipeTin Eats and plan on making a batch or 2 (or maybe 3!) of these next week.

19/04/2024

Now is a great time to stock up on seasonal produce like this at Box Divvy (especially when Coles is charging $1.90 each 😳 - and I can guarantee they won't be as fresh as ours).
Buy heaps, portion the pulp into ice cube trays and freeze for later consumption.
Your future self will thank you for being so smart with your $$$.

Oh boy, flavour explosion in a bowl 💥 Nagi's Vietnamese Chicken Salad, with all salad ingredients from this week's Box Divvy order.
Wombok cabbage was only $1.70 at Box Divvy this week, so I ordered 2 because I know it'll stay fresh for at least a week (though I don't think I can wait that long to taste this again!)

I love that I can restock my pantry without setting foot in a supermarket. With over 340 pantry items to choose from, this is just the tip of the Iceberg (we also sell iceberg! 🤣)

15/04/2024

Thanks for sharing this Box Divvy Farmborough Heights - Ashley ‐ no, I'm not surprised either!

13/04/2024

Last weekend our Box Divvy chillled order contained a 1kg pack of lamb kofta mince which we wanted to use to make kebabs. We used Nagi's lamb kofta meatball recipe (but just skipped the meatball part and used the pre-made lamb kofta mince).
We used the Box Divvy Lebanese bread - and I found a lettuce at the bottom of the crisper drawer ... which was from my delivery on 27 March!
All ingredients available from Box Divvy, including the tahini, lemon, garlic and honey for the tahini sauce. We also made hummus, which of course you can also get all the ingredients for from Box Divvy.
