23.01.2022 Happy Friday!!! It’s Box Divvy Day!!!! So much fresh produce arrived this morning for our members who love to eat super fresh produce. We have a few spots left so why not try out our Food Co-op and save up to 40% on your Food Bill! Farmers get paid more & members pay less so it’s a Win/Win . #BoxDivvy #BoxDivvyCardiff #Directfromthefarm

23.01.2022 HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? Registered members receive what they call a 'starter box' - it costs from about $20 - $25 plus, depending on what’s in it and size of your family. The cycle starts from SUNDAY, you log into your Box Divvy App, where you choose a 'wish list' of items, before 9pm, which is kind of like voting for what you'd like in your 'starter box'. If you don't want an order for the following week, you must opt out or 'suspend' that order through your Box Div...vy App - it is an opt out system and the onus is on you to suspend any weeks you don't want an order. On MONDAY afternoon, I will choose 8-10 items to go into our starter box, base on what everyone 'voted'. When I publish the order on MONDAY, you can then remove up to 3 items from your starter box. This is the box you receive regardless. MONDAY to WEDNESDAY, we get to the fun part - everyone 'splits' cases of produce - which is where the co-op part comes in. We buy big as a group to keep prices cheap - we get wholesale prices. We must buy whole cases to get our orders over the line. If you just want a few items - this isn't for you. You can suggest or join other member's "Splits" - a way to purchase other F&V produce, groceries (such as nuts and seeds), bread and eggs. For example, I might decide I want half a case of apples, and half a case of oranges (I have a big family) and then put it to the group to see who'd like to take part in that case - you could take half a case, you could take half a dozen, it doesn't matter - but as a group we need to 'complete' that case or we don't get the apples or the carrots. We also have the option of fresh eggs, bread fresh from Shepherds bakery and quite a few pantry staples. On WEDNESDAY at 9pm we have to have our 'splits' finalised, so make sure you log in and check if there is anything else you can grab to help someone else 'fill' a case. On THURSDAY the farmers pack our produce fresh. FRIDAY they pick up our Fruit & Veg orders, as well as fresh bread from the bakery (it is literally baked fresh that morning) and then deliver it to me. My job is to sort, pack and organise pickups. Any other questions please don’t hesitate to contact us .

21.01.2022 Produce Update: NO PEACHES !?! Just a heads-up that we were unable to get peaches today which just shows how fickle the stonefruit season still is. There’s loose market talk of ‘bad weather in growing regions’, but as best as we can tell, Queensland’s Granite Belt is mainly responsible for the current supply and we could find no bad weather reports in the area. So, there is a chance they could come in tomorrow but if not, we will substitute with nectarines. (The good... news is that nectarines have come down in price see below). In further bad news, green beans were unavailable today except for some carryover stock from last week which we’ve left well alone. Little or no improvements are expected this week, so we’ve taken them off the product list. Also, chef Bel has advised that the bonus 250ml bottle of Jalapiri is sold out and has been removed from the product list. If you had any Belicious splits with this product, please ask members to switch to the 150ml bottle instead. The rest of the news is all good: Despite the absence of peaches, nectarines have dropped in price to $4.34/Kg Cauliflowers are a little cheaper, down to $2.86 each Truss tomatoes are following the general downward trend in tomato prices down to $3.87/Kg.

15.01.2022 An update from our growers: Charlie Vella in Freemans Reach is picking zucchinis again this week which means we’ll have a choice of local growers including Raymond Camilleri and Steve Grima. To cope with the expected glut, we expect prices will drop to just over $2 per Kg. Meanwhile at Coles: zucchini on Special. At (get this)$4.90 per Kg. Go figure. Raymond Camilleri in Freemans Reach has dried out his paddocks and will be picking extra beetroot bunches this week. Hel...p him out: just $2.49 a bunch, and the quality is top-notch. Baby truss tomatoes are back, and sweet already. Just $2.42 a bunch from Kim and Laks at Golden Fields. With lemon prices going sky-high, we’re expecting limes to go up as well. Expect them to come in around $5.40/Kg next week a little higher than we’d initially forecast.

15.01.2022 Produce Update! Yah! Mangoes are moving in the right direction: DOWN:... KP mangoes now down to $2.64 Broccoli which has been pretty expensive lately has dropped to just a tad over $5/Kg Ruby grapefruit is plentiful, eats beautiful and is now just 68c or under $2/Kg. (Supermarkets: anywhere from $1.62 to $2.73, or between $5/Kg and $8/Kg) UP: Roma tomatoes have been very cheap for several weeks and is getting back to more normal pricing around $3.15/Kg. That’s still less than half price compared with the supermarkets.

11.01.2022 Our Sister Hub recently received an imperfect orange .

10.01.2022 Produce Update from Box Divvy HQ!!! Even as mangoes remain stubbornly elevated, many other produce lines are dropping in price and some quite dramatically! Passionfruit is arriving in big numbers don’t pay more than 50c each. ... Cherries are getting better and cheaper each day: down to $13.60/Kg, and the quality is excellent. Cauliflowers are down to $2.18 each Corn is starting to come back to earth: $1.46 a cob. Ditto for green beans: $6.80/Kg Eggplant is loving the warmer weather: expect to pay around $3.90/Kg. Last but not least, zucchini is now at glut levels, and farmers are begging us to take them. So do your ‘patriotic’ thing and go big on zucs at (wait for it)$1.72/Kg. The quality is glamour, and here are some ideas to use them up: https://damndelicious.net/2014//21/baked-parmesan-zucchini/ https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food-r//zucchini-recipes/ https://www.loveandlemons.com/zucchini-recipes/
