Delivery
No – delivery is always free. All you need to do is meet our minimum spend of $100. If your meals are below this, we will charge at cost, $6.95.
We deliver from quite early in the morning up until dinner time on your delivery day. To minimise food miles, our local teams deliver to everyone in an area on a set day once a week, calculating their routes to maximise efficiency. Delivery is often at a similar time each week – traffic and weather permitting!
You don’t need to be at home – more than 70% of our customers are out when we deliver. Our driver will knock on your door to let you know you delivery has arrived (if it’s after 8am); please let us know in your delivery instructions if you’d rather we didn’t knock.
You can also use the delivery instructions to let your driver know where to leave your box if you’re not in. We’re used to all sorts of requests. This could be anything from leaving your box with a neighbour or in a shed/garage, to tucking it under a hedge, behind a dustbin or under upturned recycling boxes.

Box Information
We post meal contents on the website every Friday. We also email every week telling you what’s on the way, so you can check whether you’d like to stick with your chosen box, swap to another, or add any extras. We try very hard to stick to the planned contents, but the unpredictability of nature means that we must occasionally make last-minute changes.
Every week, we list what we’re planning to put in all our veg boxes for the next week, to help you choose which to order. We try our very best to deliver what we’ve planned – but with fresh organic produce, sometimes things can change at the last moment. Bad weather, crop damage; lots of things can mean that we sometimes have to swap an item from your box.If you’re not happy with an item that’s been swapped in your box, please do get in touch with our team at the farm and let us know.
Almost everything has a minimum of 5 days’ shelf life, but it depends on the product and how we’ve packaged it. Everything comes labelled with a use-by date for you to follow. We also recommend you freeze any meals you won’t be eating within a couple of days, especially mince, sausages, and burgers. It will stay very tender and flavourful after defrosting.
