21.01.2022 At Box Divvy we’re leaving no STONE unturned OK, peaches got smashed alright up in Queensland, and other growing regions like Maroota, Canoelands and southern NSW won’t start in earnest for another few weeks so gorge yourself on nectarines at under $4/Kg. Or new season plums, aptly named Earliqueens. They’re early indeed, and whilst as a rule we don’t touch plums until close to Christmas, we do make exceptions from time to time and this Earliqueen is worth it. #boxdivvywestryde #nectarines #plums #stonefruit

20.01.2022 This photo is of one of last week's sample boxes. Tomorrow morning I will have only one bumper sample box available. $35. It will have an assortment of 15 fruit and vegetables as well as a dozen free range eggs. Assortment of fresh fruit and vegetables including: silverbeet, washed potatoes (red desiree), navel oranges, blood oranges, Afourer mandarins, pink lady apples, Packham pears, green beans, beetroot bunch, red capsicum, garlic, baby truss tomatoes, strawberries, broccoli, bananas and a dozen free range eggs Let me know if you want this box of goodness.

20.01.2022 $20 sample box available today! Includes a whole watermelon, pears, oranges, 1 punnet of strawberries, plums, apricots, nectarines, green beans, washed Nadine potatoes, green zucchini, broccoli and shallots. All kept cold until you come to pick it up. Let me know if you would like it. Pick up today! #freshfruitandveg #boxdivvywestryde

20.01.2022 Fruit news #1 Strawberries Theyve come down to $2.50 a punnet! The conditions in the main growing areas Caboolture, Bundaberg, Gympie and the Sunshine Coast are perfect: day-time temperatures in the mid-20s, followed by cool nights to make sure they dont ripen too quickly. That way, they maximise the amount of natural sugars they develop. By the way, the amount of land in Queensland dedicated to strawberry growing would more than cover the Sydney CBD! #strawberries #boxdivvy #freshfruit #unsupermarket #boxdivvywestryde

18.01.2022 95% of Box Divvy bananas are sourced mainly from the Coffs region from Scotts Head to Woolgoolga and some from northern NSW around Murwillumbah. Transport from Coffs (530kms from Sydney) uses about 80% fewer food miles compared with Queensland bananas, most of which are grown in Innesfail, south of Cairns Because of the more humid climate in North Qld, the crop requires a fair amount of ag chemicals fungicides and pesticides mainly to maintain their good looks. That ...is important, as the major supermarkets only buy Qld bananas and cosmetics are considered more important than flavour and nutrition. By contrast, Coffs bananas use little or no chemicals at all. What’s more: because it’s a little cooler than Qld, it takes an extra 1-2 months to bring the fruit to maturity. That makes the Coffs bananas noticeably sweeter. That said, they may not always win a beauty contest! Lower input and transport cost plus Box Divvy’s low-cost model mean they are consistently 30-40% cheaper than supermarket bananas YAY all round for Box Divvy Members! #boxdivvywestryde #bananas #buysharesave

15.01.2022 Looks fantastic! An idea from our neighbouring hub in Ermington.

15.01.2022 Here at Box Divvy West Ryde Dickson we have Covid safe practices in place. The sunny but windy afternoon was good for washing and drying the tables. Setting up ready for the early morning delivery. Box Divvy is a great local and safe way to shop. You get fresh produce from local farmers. Sustainable and fair. I love our little community. #staysafe #boxdivvy #westryde

15.01.2022 Valencia oranges were created in (get this) California, US back in the 1800’s. OK, so not really in Valencia. The original grower called them Valencias in honour of the fact that Spain at the time was the centre of the citrus world. Nowadays most Valencias are grown in Florida and Australia! Most citrus matures over autumn and winter, but Valencias are the only citrus variety grown over summer. When they get a lot of sun, their skin develops a green hue by way of sunscreen ...protection that makes them appear unripe but in fact, the greener they are, the more sun they’ve had and the sweeter they’ll be. Valencias have an unfair reputation as ‘juicing oranges’. The reason is that their juice keeps better than Navel juice which gets a little bitter over time. But the fact they produce better orange juice doesn’t mean they’re not great to eat as a hand orange! And to give you one more reason: they’ve just come down to $1.53/Kg. At that price, you can juice them and have ‘m too! #valenciaoranges #boxdivvywestryde #greateating #notjustforjuicing

15.01.2022 If you have wanted to join a Box Divvy hub to get fresh long-lasting quality produce at great prices, all the while supporting local farmers, reducing your carbon footprint with minimal packaging and by lowering your food miles - you can with Box Divvy West Ryde -Adelaide!

12.01.2022 Food Security: it’s a thin line Australians are used to having food in abundance: shops, farmers markets, delivery services, Box Divvy there is no shortage in food options. Not only is Australia as a nation self-sufficient, we export 65% of all our food which makes us just one of about a dozen countries in the world who are self-sufficient. It’s easy to take this for granted, but all it takes are some natural (or man-made) disasters to change the equation. To illustra...te, consider two reports from the some of the wealthiest countries in the world: Last week, some 10,000 cars queued up at a Foodbank in San Antonio, Texas for a 50kg food parcel. Half the people who queued did so for the first time a continued fall-out from the COVID crisis that has caused 20 million Americans to lose their jobs, and 250,000 to lose their lives. These scenes are repeated at hundreds of Foodbanks across the USA. Meanwhile, the Brexit deadline is looming in the UK, and there is growing concern of food shortages that could last weeks or even months, according to The Guardian. The UK relies on Europe for much of its fresh food, and there is a growing risk of delays at the border not so good for perishable food. Coupled with very little spare warehouse capacity, it is feasible that food prices will rise sharply and leave many Britons going hungry at a time (the middle of winter) when virtually no fresh produce is picked locally. Drought, floods, bushfires, climate change, pandemics, you name it: all of these factors can impact on our food supply, which is why Box Divvy has adopted a diversification strategy: at the same time as we help local growers to become more resilient, we are expanding the amount of produce we can source from backyard growers across the Sydney suburbs. Mums, dads, kids, community gardens and schools are starting to recognise the risk, and expanding their food production. Please check out the Backyard Growers Box Divvy Facebook page, managed by Jaq our Freeranger in Panania. If you want to get involved and start supplying your produce to local Box Divvy hubs, please touch base with Jaq. #boxdivvy

11.01.2022 2 Sample boxes will be available this morning. ONE $30 Fruit and Veg box. ONE $10 Fruit box. See comments for whats in them. #boxdivvywestryde

Box Divvy supports our local farmers and their quality produce. #potatoshapes #boxdivvy #westryde #imperfectshapesbutperfectfood #potatoes #boxdivvywestryde

10.01.2022 Veg news #1 Charlie Vella in Freemans Reach has loads of silverbeet ($1.59), ridiculously cheap Iceberg lettuce ($1.60 each) and enough zucchini flowers to supply every restaurant in Sydney (if only they were buying), so hes dropped the price to $3.91 per half dozen.

In a normal week, we might sell maybe 20 #koreanwhiteradish #silverbeet #iceberglettuce #zucchiniflowers #boxdivvywestryde #gourmetathome #freshveg

09.01.2022 Veg news #3 Red kale is back. It tastes about the same as green kale, but it contains a lot of an antioxidant called anthocyanins. Anthocyanins protect purple vegetables from sunlight damage, cold temperatures, and other stressors. They attract pollinators, like bees and butterflies and can also help protect and heal your cells from damage and protect you from many lifestyle diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. #kale #healthyeating #boxdivvywestryde

02.01.2022 Enoki mushrooms In addition to Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms both of which are locally grown we are now offering Enoki mushrooms. They have a subtle flavour and can be eaten raw or cooked in soups or stir-fry. #boxdivvywestryde #enokimushroom

02.01.2022 Veg news #4 Onions are hitting the market in a big way! Both brown onions ($1/Kg) and red onions ($1.66/kg) are at their lowest prices in several years. Witlof also known as Belgian Endive is available from Box Divvy. They are starved of sunlight during the growth cycle and remain white to light yellow (similar to good leek which has soil heaped against the stem during the growth cycle; the bit that sees no sunlight stays white and is actually the edible part of the leek). ...As the name suggests, Belgian endive is common in Europe where it is baked in a little garlic and white wine, sprinkled with pancetta and cheese. After 20 minutes in the oven, finish them off under a hot grill. You can use bacon instead of pancetta, and try blue-vein cheese instead of regular cheese. You can also eat the leaves raw in a salad: they are slightly bitter and nutty and go well with balsamic vinegar, pear and goats cheese or feta. #onions #witlof #belgianendive #boxdivvywestryde See more
