Box Divvy is Community owned and run. This is a fruit veg and grocery cooperative. We pur

chase 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.

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 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. 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.

28/06/2023

It's always a good time to join, even better now! The ordering system has changed. No more start order, so you control all that you buy. And best of all, the farmers are paid their fair share.

Hey, new lettuce! I think this is genius 👌

Thanks for the heads up Box Divvy Mudgee 👍

Cosberg: best of both worlds!

Let’s face it: Iceberg has plenty of crunch, but doesn’t taste like much. Cos lettuce on the other hand has sweet flavour, but can be a little limp. Introducing Cosberg: flavour with a crunch. Grown by Charlie Portelli in Maroota.

Join us now to save money, pay farmers properly, reduce packaging and waste and get excellent quality fruit and veg 👌

https://app.boxdivvy.com.au/register/hub/228

Wow, fruit and vegetable prices are looking more attractive by the week – if you’re a shopper. If you’re a farmer, probably less so – but then, they’re picking a lot more produce, so incomes are up across the board.

Produce prices are down a whopping 40% from the peaks they hit in May and June – and even over the past 3 weeks, prices have dropped by a further 4%. Still, they’re up by around 8% compared with the pre-flood period (mid-February) and around 13% compared with this week last year – driven by still expensive cucumbers, capsicums, tomatoes and blueberries.

Even if prices were to hold around the current level, that’s not so bad when you consider that most farm input costs – labour, fuel, fertiliser, transport, machinery – have gone up by 30-40%.

Likewise, green beans are back: expect to pay $13-14 a Kg (still sold in 2Kg lots)

Thanks for the heads up Box Divvy Muswellbrook - Shiraz 🥳

After a 3-week hiatus, baby cos, baby spinach and mesclun (lettuce mix) are making a tentative comeback.

Just as you were getting used to eating wombok and cabbage salad: your favourite lettuces are coming back. Supply is still constrained, so they’ll be expensive for a week or so – but at least, you can make you favourite salad again!

There was a time when most things were kind of normal but now changing.

Farmers knew when to plant and when to harvest (except for the odd hail storm).

Times, they were a-boring – at least on the surface. Nothing seemed to be happening in decades.

Below the surface: well, that was a different story. The seeds of many of our problems were sown years or even decades ago, but it took an extraordinary event to lay bare the fault lines on which we had been busy building our society.

Covid seemed to amplify a range of other events that have now turned into the Perfect Storm:
Extreme weather events over the past five years, from drought and bushfires to floods and unseasonal cold-snaps – something scientists had been predicting would occur with greater frequency and intensity as a result of global warming – have created havoc for our farmers (not to mention for the several thousand people in Lismore who, 17 weeks after the event, still live in tents and make-shift accommodation).

Empty supermarket shelves and fridges for weeks on end. Who would have thought this possible?

Many small things are more likely to have an impact, rather than one silver bullet.

Stepping up to the plate.

Box Divvy.

Joining Box Divvy is a no-brainer.
A decentralised food system that aims for resilience.

Cheap grapes in winter!!! 🙌
Thanks Box Divvy Farmborough Heights - Panorama for the heads up 👍

Did someone say red grapes?

They are definitely a favourite with our members. This week we are getting red seedless grapes from Mammone Orchards in Mildura.
A cancelled export order, in your favour: $2.92 a Kg! How good is that!

Many thanks to all our Divvy members who donated to the Lismore appeal 🙌 - here is an update from Box Divvy Farmborough Heights - Panorama

Lismore Support: biggest shipment to date!

Almost 2 tonnes of fresh produce was delivered by the Bonny Hills Hub and Slade Transport to Lismore last Thursday morning, easily the biggest shipment to date. Sarah – the Bonny Hills Hubster – and members Troy and Helen organised for some 500kg to go up by trailer, which ended up in various soup kitchens and meal providers. Later that day, Slade Transport delivered 2 full pallets to Lifeline.
To date, some 6 tonnes of fresh produce with a wholesale value of $16,000 has been donated to flood victims, thanks to $13k worth of donations from members and Hubsters over the past month. As Box Divvy is matching dollar-for-dollar, we still have nearly $5000 left – enough for at least 2 more weeks.

Wow!! Once again the biggest thank you to all of our members across Box Divvy for being part of this and supporting the people of Lismore.

Thanks Box Divvy Farmborough Heights - Panorama for this recipe idea - will come in handy this week 🥶

Who else feels like an easy slow cook tonight?

We are trying Belicious Foods Beef Rendang for the first time. It's so easy! Brown the onion and beef, pop all the ingredients in the pot and leave it simmering for 3 1/2 hours. Dinner is done!

Now to do some weekend baking while the little one naps :)
