Box Divvy is Community owned and run. This is a fruit veg and grocery cooperative. We purchase as a group up to 40% cheaper than supermarket
s. 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.
4 DAY ORDER CYCLE – FOR Monday pick up
Wednesday 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 Wednesday 9pm. Your “WISH LIST VOTE” and any changes you wish to make to your household size must also be done by Wednesday 9pm. Thursday - Starting Order Published
Login take up to 3 things out and JOIN SPLITS. Saturday 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. Monday - 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.
New Egg Supplier!
~ New (additional) egg supplier ~
Hunter Valley Eggs will remain our lead supplier but, especially in winter, they’re unable to fill all our orders on their own.
So we’ve found another egg supplier to help keep up with demand - Moonbi Valley Eggs, based near Tamworth.
Their stocking density is 10.000 hens per HA, similar to Pace Eggs.
Supply from Moonbi Valley Eggs will start this week.
H2G Passata Rustica: $2 a jar while stocks last.
Honest to Goodness ended up with a few pallets of Passata with a Best Before date of 31 August, so what were they to do??
“We’ll take them”, Box Divvy said.
Over 1500 jars that we normally sell for $4.49, but are now going out the door for $2 a pop.
We think they’ll be gone in a fortnight, well before they have a chance to expire.
BTW: there’s every chance they’ll be good for another year…
Remember - it's a Best Before date, not a Use By date.
Great ways to enjoy this yummy new bread!
*Kabul Star Bakery Afghan Bread taking a 1-week break*
Little did we know there would be so many orders for Asad's Afghan bread – bigger even than the Lebanese bread!
In the end, on most days he was able to fill about two-third of our orders. Our hub was grateful to receive our full allocation on both days.
However, Asad is going to have to pause for a week: he needs a few days to re-organise the bakery so he can accommodate a second baker to ensure he can fill all our orders.
So he will be back – but it’ll be the week after next (first delivery 15th July).
In the meantime, please share how you are using/serving yours!
I'll post some ideas that other hubs have shared in the comments.
So excited. My first batch arrives tomorrow!
Such a great idea to reduce waste and use all the crumbs! Some other great suggestions in the comments.
Not often available, but Kestrel potatoes – also known as King Edward – are one of our favourite spuds.
They’re versatile – mash, boil, fry – but we reckon they’re best roasted. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Perfect winter fare.
I could sooo live on Potatoes. I’ll eat them anyway they come but I’ll admit roasted crunchy with creamy centres 🤤
Love my no pong!
😲 I was stopped in my tracks when I saw the price of No Pong in the supermarket this morning!
🤔 I immediately looked up the Box Divvy price and sure enough, you'll save $2.50 a tin with us!
🤷 Honestly, the supermarkets are unbelievable with these prices! I bet they'd have a lower cost price than Box Divvy too as they'd order larger quantities...but they won't tell you that 🤐
❤️ I'm so grateful to be part of Box Divvy - a business with a social purpose for good - people over profit!
Gosh there are some clever hubsters!

Thanks to a hot piece of info from Box Divvy The Oaks - Caley I learned that coffee is the number one pesticide sprayed crop in the world!!!
I love my coffee and can enjoy it even more knowing that the Black Market OH! BLEND organic coffee does not have any artificial chemicals. What it does have is a gorgeous, toasted honeycomb, caramel – choc mouthfeel. It makes a really delicious cup of coffee.
I also love that Box Divvy supports local businesses like Black Market Coffee from Marrickville in Sydney.

Thanks Joel!
Heartbreak. Farming is tougher than ever.
Farming is not easy. It's hard work at the best of times and these are not the best of times.
We have been contacting our Sydney basin growers yesterday and today, and the news is grim:
At least 7 farms have been evacuated from the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment – growers won’t be able to return until Tuesday at the earliest. They have lost all crops and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks.
In total, about half our growers will not be coming to the markets on Monday as they have not been able to pick any produce. We hope they’ll be back by Wednesday.
Simon Chong estimates that volumes of Asian greens and herbs on the market will be at least 50% below the normal volume – and he is anticipating steep price rises across these categories.
The news is not all bad: Manuel Xerri in Agnes Banks, Charlie Vella in Freemans Reach and George Portelli in Maroota escaped with only minor damage and crop losses.
At this stage, we have not heard back from Gerard Saad in Wilberforce – one of the worst-affected areas – and Raymond Camilleri in Castlereagh. If Gerard has indeed evacuated his farm, that would be the 3rd time in 4 years it’s inundated. We honestly don’t know if he’ll be able to pick up the pieces and start again this time around.
We believe the Grima brothers in Horsley Park and Golden Fields in Wallacia are OK.
A heads-up that prices of Asian greens and herbs have been reset – and may rise further this week.
In addition, baby truss tomatoes and beetroot prices are also on the rise due to weather-related crop damage or the inability to get machinery into the sodden paddocks.
Box Divvy does it again! Channel 9 Sunrise compares 3 home delivery Fruit n Veg options - what you could get for $70.
Woolies, Farmer's Pick, and Box Divvy. Box Divvy won for freshness and overall, as you could also choose what you want.
A grim overview of the devastating weather we’ve had.

Congratulations Snives Hives & Sydney Bee Rescue!!

Snives Hives has been awarded Champion Commercial Honey at the Royal Easter Show - National Honey Competition.
We’re very proud and will be letting the bees know how well they did!
A great run down on Asian greens and the different names in Australia. See if you’re as confused as many of us on the different names used here.
Sooo wrong! Not at Box Divvy!
I’m seriously excited!

Long ago nick named the critic during hubby’s football playing day I’m known for being totally honest (maybe a little brutal) in my reviews.
So here’s my review of No Pong low waste deodorant! It’s been a few weeks now and let’s be honest the humid sticky weather has been a perfect time to put it to the test.
I’ll be honest, I was hesitant about tins. I like sticks and not getting gunk on my hands but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The paste is super smooth not at all gritty or sticky. Glides on easily and is very easy to use. The verdict of how well it works? Brilliantly! I’m sold. There’s no stickiness. I don’t even feel I’ve got anything on. No transfer on my clothing and it works!! Honestly 5 out of 5! So if you’re wondering if you should give it a try I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
Extra bonus it’s Aussie made, plastic free, not tested on animals, is all natural, contains no palm oil, parabens, triclosan or synthetics!
Woolworths sells No Pong for $10! At Box Divvy it’s only $7.50!!!
Love it! In my list to try. What’s your easy after school snack?
Anyone else find themselves a little obsessed with the EVIA yoghurt?
There are so many delicious varieties to choose from, but my favourite would have to be the Greek Natural No Added Sugar. It is deliciously thick and creamy and the perfect addition to sweet or savoury dishes. Or for a quick after school snack, make a batch of 2 ingredient air fryer donuts!
And it's conveniently delivered to my doorstep with my Saturday ❄️Chilled orders.
Just as well you can get all your favourite Norco goodies delivered to your door from your very own Box Divvy!! Because Box Divvy loves supporting our Aussie farmers! ❤️
All of us at Norco have been overwhelmed by the passionate outcry from our loyal customers. We can confirm that our Norco white milk has been removed from 150 Woolworths stores in metropolitan Sydney.
Fortunately there are still many other stores our customers can visit to find our award winning white milk both in metropolitan Sydney and right across NSW and Queensland, to continue supporting our hard working dairy farmers. By choosing Norco, you are supporting Australia’s oldest dairy co-operative (the last of its kind), owned by hundreds of farming families, so all profits stay right here in Australia and make their way back into our local communities. With no external shareholders or foreign ownership - there is no lining of the pockets of offshore companies or foreign shareholders. We are 100% fair dinkum Aussie!!! So thank you for supporting our Aussie farming families. You can find your local stockist here: https://bit.ly/3RbXuoa
