Yes, the weather has been chilly – but the Bureau is forecasting above average temperatures for next week. And that can mean only one thing: WATERMELON time! Plenty of supply coming in from up north, but no-one is buying – so prices have come right down to $1.60 a kilo. That’s nearly half price compared with the supermarkets. Refreshing!

Maroota, inland from the Central Coast, is the location of George Portelli’s farm – and it seems he has his own warm micro-climate, judging by how much he grows.

He says he needs our help moving his small wombok and red cabbage this week, so he’s offering them exclusively to Box Divvy members for $1 each.

To help you along, there are some recipes for the below in the comments.

- Recipe Tin Eats has, as always, an excellent recipe for Asian Slaw.

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!
