22.01.2022 One plastic tray and some sticky tape. This is the landfill waste from packing over 40 boxes for our Hub members on Friday. I love how little waste we generate by buying in bulk together, reusing and recycling everything we can!... One member takes the soft plastics for REDcycling Another member takes home the scraps (cauliflower leaves etc) for her chickens and compost Members recycle their cardboard boxes Styrofoam and waxed boxes are returned to Box Divvy to be given back to growers to reuse You can tread a little lighter on the planet by being part of Box Divvy!

21.01.2022 Pumpkin, but no soup in sight! Shared by one of our Friday members, Sarita: "We are enjoying our box divvy pumpkin this weekend! Roasted pumpkin seeds with Belicious Foods Mexicana spice, pumpkin & feta muffins, pumpkin oat cookies & purée to freeze for next time."... What awesome ways to use a whole pumpkin! #pumpkin #winterbaking #wastenot #nowaste #boxdivvy #lalorpark

21.01.2022 This is a familiar sight in our house. Mr 3 is a strawberry fiend. He ploughs through a punnet in minutes! Mostly because he bites them like and then moves onto the next one Anyone else live with a strawberry fiend? Lucky for me strawberries are only $1.54 a punnet this week!!! A great source of Vitamin C and high in fibre! #strawberries #vitaminC #boxdivvy #lalorpark

21.01.2022 We had the cutest little button mushrooms in our Box Divvy order on Friday! About the size of a 10-20 cent piece You probably wouldn't have found these in the supermarket. Why? Because they don't meet the size requirements that most supermarkets have for produce. So much perfectly delicious produce is wasted in the food industry because of these unrealistic aesthetic standards. At Box Divvy we embrace produce of all shapes and sizes! We only require that the produce i...s fresh, tasty and good quality - because THAT is what matters Want to be part a more sustainable, ethical food system?

02.01.2022 GINGER Last year’s drought has made ginger scarce and about double the normal price. Luckily, we are just getting hold of new season fresh ginger from north Queensland. It hasn’t been cured or dried, and has a milder flavour than dried ginger. The other big difference is its price: with dried ginger selling around $40-50/Kg, the fresh ginger is literally half- price: $24/Kg. Keep in the fridge in a sealed container.... #ginger #newseason #seasonaleating #boxdivvy #lalorpark #buysharesave

02.01.2022 BERRY GOOD news to start your weekend! Strawberries under $2 Blueberries under $3... What's your favourite way to eat berries?

A squeeze of lemon juice and balsamic vinegar on top #berryseason #boxdivvy #lalorpark #strawberries #blueberries

01.01.2022 Hi there! For those new to the page I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Zoe, mum of two energetic boys and Hubster of Box Divvy Lalor Park. Rewind 14 months, I was completely fed up with the quality and price of fruit and vege at the supermarket and there was no other real alternative in my area. I could no longer sustain driving 30km (each way) to get affordable, farm fresh fruit and veggies. Then I stumbled upon Box Divvy. Fresh, affordable produce for my local co...mmunity? For real? I had to investigate. I met Sam, amazing human and Hubster at Box Divvy Toongabbie - Calaby. She so generously shared her wisdom with me and I joined her Hub as a member to experience the delicious produce for myself...I was blown away at the quality and value. I wanted that for my community too! So I opened for registrations for a new Hub in Lalor Park and in less than 3 weeks we received our first delivery! It's safe to say other people were looking for great alternative too. A wonderful community has formed, a second Hub day, all the while supporting local growers and reducing our food and packaging waste. Thank you to everyone who has supported this from the beginning and along the way, I'm ever grateful. We would love to welcome more people! If you're local, please get in touch or join here: https://app.boxdivvy.com.au/register/hub/98 #community #local #localcommunity #boxdivvy #lalorpark #supportgrowers #lowfoodmiles #plasticfreeproduce #unsupermarket #buysharesave

01.01.2022 We eat A LOT of chickpeas in our house. We regularly make hummus, put chickpeas in our curries and salads. Up until recently we just used canned chickpeas for the convenience and I always thought cooking dried chickpeas was too hard and time consuming! Then I discovered you can cook dried chickpeas in the slow cooker and then freeze them...Winning!... In the Box Divvy pantry section, 1kg of dried chickpeas is $3.64 so you can save money too! AND they taste better!! What's not too love! https://thewimpyvegetarian.com/slow-cooker-chickpeas/ #chickpeas #legumes #pantrystaples #boxdivvy #lalorpark #buysharesave
