Box Divvy Prospect - Oulton Box Divvy, Social Enterprise, food box sharing connecting farmers & food wholesalers with the Food H Hub name: Prospect - Oulton

Pick up Thursday. WANT MORE? So?
(3)

Due to COVID-19 Our Local Food Hubs Have in place Hygiene, Packing and Social Distancing protocol. So a Wave and smile from a distance on pick up. Community working together. To register for the Hub use this link
https://app.boxdivvy.com.au/register/hub/297

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 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 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. 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.

Box Divvy doesn't do specials, nor loss leaders. We are 'price takers' and pay farmers what they ask for and what they need to stay in business. Each item in the marketplace displays these costs - out of your $20.55, the farmer is paid $10.52

“A little greener everyday” ...yet in the bin by the end of the night.
These exorbitantly wasteful practices just do not occur at Box Divvy. How?
- Everything is packed to order. There’s no opportunity for any item to sit and wait for someone to buy it, or expire
- Produce comes in boxes which are either returned to the warehouse to be reused, or taken home by members and returned the following week
- Some items come in plastic bags, which are reused to pack loose veg for individual orders

Supermarkets have NO EXCUSE not to incorporate sustainable practices TODAY. But as patterns continue, they will continue to do what works for them $$$

I can say I’m proud to be part of the solution. If Box Divvy can do it, so can they!

Mount Caulini

Caulini flower won’t be in season for very long. These gargantuan bunches can be roasted until crisp with the basic drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of salt, or add your preferred blend of spices. I enjoy either a sumac/tahini or turmeric/cumin based seasoning!

🤔 I can't tell which eggs are from Box Divvy and which are from my backyard chickens...and that's a good thing!

🥚Box Divvy eggs are from Hunter Valley eggs, which are TRUE free range (according to the CSIRO). The happy hens at Hunter Valley Eggs have a stocking density of 950 hens per hectare.

👉Compare that to the supermarket brands 'free range' eggs that most commonly have a stocking density of 10,000 hens per hectare (the maximum to meet 'free range' standard).

😱Yes, that's a difference of 9,050 hens!!

😁I'm pretty pleased that I can order eggs through Box Divvy that are pretty darn close to backyard eggs!

Our Queen raising program is showing early signs of success. Here you can see the colony have drawn out 15 queen cells from embryo we transplanted for raising.
This is exciting for us as shows that the bees have accepted the larvae and are creating and providing the Royal jelly needed to raise these queens.
Created from established Mili Bees hives with placid and gentle temperaments we are excited to have the ability to requeen our hives as needed with our own queens and to supply queens to others who may need.
The next step will be to allocate each little queen cell her own mini hive. More on that to come.

Everyday I try to include coconut in my diet in one form or another, so recently I've been treating myself to a fresh coconut once a week.
Better than any electrolyte drink, the young coconuts at Box Divvy are beautifully sweet with firm yet easy to scoop flesh.
Coconuts are high in good fats, fibre, iron and antioxidants, and consumption increases nutrient absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Cheers! 🥥🌴

This Halloween, let's support QLD pineapple farmers and carve yourself a Spooky Pine 🍍 Only $2.75 at Box Divvy 😱

“Given the farming challenges over the past year - floods, rising fuel prices, a huge increase in fertiliser costs - and now the anticipated third La Nina event - pineapple farmers are going to be particularly challenged towards the end of this summer.”

QUEENSLAND pineapple growers are urging Aussies to swap pumpkins for pineapples this spooky season. https://www.theexpressnewspaper.com.au/on-the-land/spooky-pines-ready-to-carve

Box Divvy aims to reduce our food waste as much as possible. That's why all of our produce is picked to order. The leafy green scraps from each delivery go to our feathered and fuzzy babies before they end up in the compost bin.

I was so excited for the Baby Truss tomatoes that came in today's delivery.
For dinner I made baked feta cheese pasta with fresh oregano from the backyard. The end result wasn't photo-worthy but it was bloody delicious and so simple to make. I no longer make pasta sauce any other way.

When cooked correctly, mushrooms can add a beautiful umami element to any savoury dish. Last week our members added Brown Swiss mushrooms to the menu.

Here are some tips to convert any mushroom haters out there:

✨ Use more than one variety of mushroom.

🍳 Cast iron is best.

🍄 Without overcrowding the pan, cook them dry on a medium
heat then add oil/butter when some of the moisture has dissipated.

👩‍🍳 Caramelise without stirring too often, and cook for roughly 15 minutes.

🧂 Salt at the end to prevent boiling by drawing out the moisture.

A recipe shared & cooked by our members.
Maghmour: a thick, smoky eggplant and chickpea dish from Lebanon.

INGREDIENTS:
2 large eggplants
¾ cup of dried chickpeas
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 diced onion
5 cloves of minced garlic
Salt to taste
400g tomato
1tbsp tomato paste
1tsp smoked paprika
1tsp ground cayenne pepper
1tbsp dried mint

METHOD:
1. Rinse and soak the chickpeas in a pot overnight. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, add fresh water and boil until tender, (about 30 minutes). You can skip this step by using canned chickpeas.
2. Preheat your oven to 205°C. Cut your eggplants into cubes about two inches square. Coat with half of the olive oil and roast in the oven until tender and browned (20-30 minutes).
3. In a large pot heat the remaining olive oil. Add onions and a pinch of salt and saute until translucent (about 15 minutes). Add the garlic and cook until garlic is tender and fragrant.
4. Add tomato, tomato paste, paprika, eggplant, drained chickpeas, and mint. Bring to a simmer and cook until flavours meld, (about 20 minutes). Add water as necessary to maintain a moist, stew-like consistency.
