Box Divvy is Community owned and run. Th

is is a fruit veg and grocery cooperative. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Stuffed Butternut Squash with Feta, Spinach & Bacon 🥓🧀🍂

Ingredients 🛒

2 medium butternut squashes, halved and seeds removed
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
Directions 👩‍🍳

1️⃣ Prep the squash: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the cut sides of the butternut squash with 2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes or until tender.

2️⃣ Sauté the spinach: While the squash is roasting, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3️⃣ Stuff the squash: Once roasted, flip the squash halves cut-side up. Scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a cavity for the filling. Divide the sautéed spinach evenly among the halves. Top with crumbled feta cheese and bacon bits.

4️⃣ Broil to perfection: Sprinkle with dried rosemary or thyme, if using. Place the stuffed squash back in the oven under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the feta is golden and slightly melted.

5️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Serve warm as a hearty main or a comforting side dish.

Food for thought 💭

“Darl, pass me the dal please”.

Earlier this week, we made some that lasted us several days.
We asked ourselves ‘why are we not eating dal more often’ – only to read an article about legumes and ‘Leguminati’ literally the next day. (Link below 👇🏼)
“It’s a sure sign”, we thought – and picked up the phone to Chef Bel from . “Bel, how about making some dal flavours and bring them out as OneMeals?” We already have the dried legumes from Harkola (or a canned version from H2G). “Consider it done” was the reply.

So in early 2025, expect some delicious dal flavours that will encourage you to eat more protein and fibre-rich legumes!

🍒🍒🍒
Cherries should always be kept in the refrigerator, unless you plan to eat them immediately.
👍🏻😋🍒
The best way to increase the longevity of fresh cherries is to make sure they stay as dry as possible.
🍒🍒🍒
This means that washing fresh cherries before storing them can accelerate the spoiling process.
🍒🍒🍒
Enjoy your fresh cherries 👍🏻😁🍒

Sure is weird not jumping out of bed thinking got divvying today 🥴 so here I am reminding myself what a great divvy year it has been…

Oh what a marvellous year we have had as hubsters 💃🏼🏋🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🍳

Beautiful hub members who have touched us both with your time to chat and really coming together as a group when we need you. Seeing you all eating happy and healthy is truly the best reward 🤩

Big thanks to the Box Divvy admin, packing and delivery team for making this work across over 290 hubs week in week out for the 50 weeks a year 🤗

Thank you Jayne, Anton and Richard for including us in this beautiful vision of cheaper, healthier, more sustainable and environmentally friendly movement to unsupermarket 🛒

Fellow hubsters who always provide endless inspirations and answers 🙏🏻

I was just a mum looking for a way to get hold of fresher, better and cheaper produce for my family. I am now in a wonderful community and have even tried pickling, jamming and relishing ❤️

Bring on 2025 with even more exciting expansions! 💥
