The Organic Box Scheme

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s in a box?
Each week we will supply a box of vegetables to meet your needs, you can choose from a range of boxes;

  • Small (7-9 items) $20
  • Medium (9-11 items) $25
  • Large (11-13 items) $30

The content of the boxes depends on the season and availability. As a guide our summer boxes will regularly include new potatoes, carrots, onions and lettuce. We are growing more additional summer vegetables, which will be alternated to make your box varied and sumptuous. Medium and large boxes will also contain speciality produce such as mixed greens and mixed herbs.

As well as having more variety, medium and large boxes will contain larger quantities of some items e.g. for potatoes: small, 1kg; medium, 1.5kg; large, 2kg.

Can I chose the content of my box?
We are sure that you will be delighted with the quality, freshness and variety of the vegetables that we supply each week. Many people like the element of surprise and have discovered new vegetables and dishes as a result. You can choose up to 2 vegetables, which you would prefer not to receive in your box.
