Going to try these this week!

Pimp My Snack Super Seed Clusters

Now, here’s for something completely different: Honest to Goodness Pimp My Snack are clusters of seeds from sunflowers, pumpkins and more – as well as tamari. Not only are they delicious, but they also contain 20% plant protein. They normally retail at $4.95, but at Box Divvy they’re just $2.50 a pack.

What Happens When Farmers Quit — And How Box Divvy Supports Them

One in 3 veg growers say they are considering quitting in the next yearDairy farmers are not the only ones doing it tough. Did you know that across Australia, 34% of vegetable farmers are considering leaving the industry within the next year?
Rising costs, shrinking returns, and pressure from supermarkets are forcing many small farmers to hang up their boots. When growers quit, fresh local food becomes harder to find, prices go up, and communities lose vital connections to where their food comes from.
Adding to the challenge, climate change is hitting local growers hard. Unpredictable weather—droughts, floods, and heatwaves—makes farming riskier and less predictable. Crops can fail or produce less, while pests and diseases thrive in warmer conditions. These pressures increase costs and stress, sometimes forcing farmers to scale back or leave farming altogether.
For most communities, this means fewer fresh, local foods and rising prices.
Here’s the good news: as part of the Box Divvy community, you’re helping change that story.
The Box Divvy community are supporting these farmers by directly purchasing their products, build resilience by encouraging more sustainable farming and providing a steady income. Then farmers have a chance at adapting to climate changes and growing the food we all rely on.

How We Work With Our Farmers
At Box Divvy, we don’t just deliver food — we build genuine partnerships with the farmers who grow your produce. Here’s how we support them:
Fair pay & honest prices: We pay prices that reflect the true cost of growing fresh, seasonal food, not the rock-bottom rates supermarkets often impose. This helps farmers cover their costs and keep farming sustainably.
Collaborative seasonal planning: We work closely with growers throughout the year to plan crops based on what our community wants to eat. This reduces waste and means you get fresher, more delicious produce.
Sustainability & care: We support farmers committed to environmentally friendly practices that protect soil, water, and pollinators — because healthy farms make healthier food.
Open communication: We stay connected with farmers, sharing challenges like weather or pests and working together to find solutions that keep your box full and farms thriving.
Why This Matters to You
You might wonder if ethical eating fits your budget. The truth is, when you shop seasonally, support local growers, and reduce waste, you often save money compared to buying processed or imported food. Plus, you’re investing in a food system that values people, planet, and community.

Every Box Divvy order sends a powerful message to growers: “We see you, we value you, and we want you to keep growing.”

So next time you unpack your Box Divvy fresh fruit and veg, remember: it’s more than just food. It’s a lifeline for farmers, a boost for communities, and a way to eat ethically without breaking the bank.

Thank you for being part of this Unsupermarket movement!

Amazing!

Box Divvy donates $5,000 to Gloucester Grass-fed Meats

The Box Divvy Farmers’ Resilience Fund, donations from members and matched $ for $ by Box Divvy, supports local farmers during times of crisis, such as floods or extreme weather.
The Fund provides either fast, interest-free financial aid or a one-off payment to help farmers recover quickly and continue operating. Unlike government grants, which are often delayed, hard to access, and exclude many farmers, this Fund offers immediate, practical support.

It’s part of Box Divvy’s mission to build a fair, sustainable food system by connecting consumers directly with growers. The Fund strengthens the local food chain and shows Box Divvy’s strong commitment to local agriculture.

Gloucester Grass Fed Meats were hard hit, and we have given a one-off payment of $5,000 to assist with immediate feed costs. To put this in perspective: he has had to bring in 60 tons of hay which cost him $30,000. Demand is up so prices are up, and supply is limited.

We’d like to share a note from Brad.
“The support I have received is inspiring enough to never give up. It is one trait that most farmers have in their blood. My parents were the same and taught me that. I can only thank you so much for your generosity. Thank you. What you have set up to support farmers and suppliers for the better of all the community is inspiring. The Box Divvy community are changing the structure and services for fresh food service in Australia.

Us farmers during this weather event have all lost in different ways. The worst affected have lost everything. Livestock losses are the hardest to deal with, next I see is the loss of productive land for winter which also needs the herd to be sold to processors. So many parts of this flood are destructive to the hard work we do. I have had only one of my old cows pass that I chased around the island, 80 acres for 4 hours on foot that has become a casualty of the floods.

The immediate aftermath?

I will need to sell 50 breeding cows as I now have limited winter crops. Half of my Mount George property has had the topsoil stripped from it, so now the property has lost its value as a farm due to the high loss of livestock numbers. The financial cost for all producers to keep livestock healthy now, with hay and grain, is also a drain on costs. The fact is, that all responsible farmers want their livestock to live a healthy, enjoyable life. We spend a lot of time and money on productive pastures and animal welfare.

Thank you so much again for your support of Gloucester Grass Fed Meats. Your generosity shows that we all are a team, working together.”
