Pick up Wednesday. WANT MORE?

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

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 Wednesday pick up

Friday 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 Friday 9pm. Your “WISH LIST VOTE” and any changes you wish to make to your household size must also be done by Friday 9pm. Saturday - Starting Order Published
Login take up to 3 things out and JOIN SPLITS. Monday 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. Wednesday - 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.

Happy Christmas to you all! Hope you have had a lovely day celebrating the birth of Christ, and spending time with love...

Moussa's Market Update this week.
https://youtube.com/shorts/gXOEMg6v1LU

Could this be the cheapest Christmas on record – at least for fruit and vegetables?

Compared with last year, prices are down 3-4% across the board – and at least 20% lower for mangoes, berries, nectarines, pineapples, rockmelons, watermelon, cabbages, capsicum, almost all lettuces, shallots, pumpkin, all tomato varieties and baby Q’s.

✅ PRICE CHECK MONDAY ✅

Now this week is a mind blowing one, we're diving into a delicious comparison of butternut pumpkins! 🎃 Not only are they a versatile ingredient for your meals, but they also pack a nutritional punch.

💪🏽 Benefits of eating butternut pumpkins include being rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. They're also high in fiber, aiding digestion and helping you feel full longer. You can roast them, add them to soups, or even mash them for a creamy side dish.

At Woolworths, these beauties are a whopping $7.35 each, Coles a mind blowing $11!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😱, but at Box Divvy, you can snag them for just $1.24 each!

You can also see the price transparency on Box Divvy, we buy these for 72 cents each from our farmers. You can bet your bottom dollar that ColesWorth buy these for less than that and are taking advantage BIG TIME off the people. ☹️

🤩 Now is your time to make the switch and try for yourself!

Shepherds Croissants and more

We don’t want to steal the Christmas Fruit Mince Pies’ limelight, or that of the Christmas Persian Cakes – but you asked us to occasionally offer the Shepherd’s range of croissants, and we thought Christmas is as good an occasion as any. Perhaps as a Boxing Day Recovery Therapy? By-the-way, these croissants freeze well: leave them in the original box and freeze as soon as you get them. To defrost, do not microwave: put them on a baking tray in a warm (120-140 C) oven for perhaps 10 minutes. That way, the outside is crisp and the inside warm and gooey.

The Persian Christmas cakes, the caramel slice and the chocolate brownie are gluten-free.

May we present…Yess! 🥭🥭🥭

🥭 There’s a bunch of new mangoes coming onto the market, and they seem to have one thing in common: their names end in an exclamation mark! Yess!, AhHa! And Now! are the results of the National Mango Breeding Program over the past 25 years, and are only now being grown commercially.

🥭 We can’t say no to the Yess! mango, if only because of its vibrant colour. Moussa was sold when the supplier gave him a sample: ‘sweet, firm and not stringy’ was his verdict, on a par with a KP for flavour, and better on account of its firm and non-stringy texture.

🥭 Available loose ($2.50) or by the tray for $32. That works out to $2 each. Will last the distance.

Box Divvy is committed to bringing you options. As we have grown and continue to grow, we are doing our best to deliver more to our members.

To help reduce your need to shop at the”Big Guys” we are increasing our offerings to you. We are also doing this with price in mind too.

Whilst we don’t do 1/2 price specials, we do provide honest and transparent pricing. Every item shows what we at Box Divvy pay for the item and what you the member pay for it.

We are overall about 30% cheaper than the big guys across the board.

Here is a new product to Box Divvy available for our friends.

Thank you Box Divvy Figtree. Couldn't have said it better. This is one of the reasons why I love Box Divvy so.

How awesome it is to be part of Box Divvy!

You may just see beautiful truss tomatoes in the below photo.

I see a call out answered by our wonderful hub members who are helping out an Aussie grower who wasn’t going to break even with this produce.

It’s fresh! It’s cheap! It’s delicious!

Thank you wonderful hub members who ordered these this week. You have filled my heart once again.

So this happened at our hub today!

Ali, our Box Divvy truck driver, adopted one of our puppies! Little Ruby went home with him today!
Bonus is that we will get to see her every week as she travels along with Ali, doing Box Divvy deliveries!

Thank you Ali. I hope she makes the most perfect addition to your family and working life. 🥰

I'm horrified to read what they are doing to our milk in the name of sustainability. This is right up there with lab grown meat. Where are the long term studies to show that this really is "safe" for humans to consume.
So glad that Box Divvy is keeping things real in every sense of the word!

I'll attach a screenshot of which companies are using Bovaer 10 in comment.

Thanks to Box Divvy - The Oaks and Box Divvy - St Ives for bringing this to our attention.

December!! The last month of the year. The busiest month of the year! The time of year when we plan gatherings, gifts and holiday breaks all in celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus.
Our calendars are full! Don't forget to add the dates of our Box Divvy break below. And don't forget to stock up so that you don't have to run to the supermarket over the break if you can!
It's a long two weeks without our favourite fruit and veg!

I've ordered my tray. Planning on making passata. Box Divvy East Ryde - Blue Gum is making relish. Have you got your tray of tomatoes in your shopping basket yet?

When tomatoes are great value, I can't resist making a batch or two of this delicious Country Tomato Relish.

This gem of a recipe by the well-known food writer Margaret Fulton was shared by Hubster friend Tammy several years ago and it has become my go-to recipe.

Help out our SA tomato growers who have such an oversupply of truss tomatoes and buy and tray or two of truss tomatoes, $10 for a 5kg tray!

Homemade tomato relish is a great food gift to give to family and friends this Christmas.

Tomatoes

Tragedy strikes South Australian tomato growers: there’s such an oversupply of truss tomatoes that a grower is asking for $4 a tray. That’s 80c a kilo: crazy! So we asked him: what’s your break-even point? He says: $8 a box. So we said: that’s what we will pay, and we’ll sell your tray to our members for $10. That’s $2 a kilo – so help him out and make some pasta sauce, tomato relish or a cold tomato soup. Cheaper than by the can!

Meanwhile, we note that truss tomatoes at Colesworth is selling between $4 and $7 a kilo. If they paid the market wholesale price of between 80c and $1 a kilo, that would represent a staggering mark-up…
