25.01.2022 Here is a great example of what you can expect in a basic 2 person starter order box. I'll see if I can create one from out starter order this Friday.

24.01.2022 Wow - what a price comparison! Watermelon! Woolies $6.16 Kg Box Divvy $1.59kg. And.... BD pays their farmers fairly.

24.01.2022 MARKET UPDATE - Fruity News Apple season is starting to run out of steam and it’s at this tail-end of the season that last year’s drought and bushfires will be felt most acutely. The reduced supply will see prices going up, so expect to pay between $4/kg and $5/kg over the coming few months until the start of the stone fruit season. We did manage to find some good value Granny Smith apples. In contrast with apples, the pear season is showing no sign of slowing down both... Packhams and Nashi pears remain great value. Bananas and large pineapples are still cheap, but mangoes refuse to come down in price Still, the real peak in supply is not until late October, so we’ll just wait in patience. Oh and passionfruit is taking a break until November. Stone fruit: reports from several growers both north of Sydney and in southern NSW suggest this is going to be a strong season in terms of picking volumes. On top of that, exports are expected to decline because of Covid-19 and high airfreight cost, so the domestic supply should be ample. This is not good news for growers who are trying to recover from last year’s bad season, but we can do our bit by buying A LOT of peaches and nectarines once the season gets on its way. Expect the first peaches and nectarines to appear by late October.

22.01.2022 APPLE NEWS: Two varieties are named the healthiest in the world to help prevent cancer According to a study by Edit Cowan university in WA, Pink Lady and Bravo are the 2 apple varieties among the 90 varieties studied with the highest polyphenol content. Polyphenol are natural compounds linked to a ... reduced risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Importantly, 50% of the polyphenols are contained in the skin so give them a wash and eat them au naturel! See more

22.01.2022 HOT OFF THE PRESS: Market Update Mushroom supply is normalising, and so are prices: back under $12/Kg Roma tomatoes are following their cousins the Field tomatoes down in price expect to pay $4/Kg, Mangoes! Now down to $3.40 each, Afourer mandarins are having a late flush, with prices well below $3/Kg... Lebanese cucumbers are enjoying the warmer weather they’re down to $3.29/Kg today. Red capsicums have come down from the lofty heights reached last Friday, thanks to improved supply from South Australia. Still $5.44 per Kg Basil is back to normal well, at least for now: $3.40 a bunch. See more

20.01.2022 Don't miss Bel’s Promo offer of the week Bel’s made another batch of Jalapiri this week, but may have gone slightly over board on the quantity so to clear the excess stock, she’s bottled several dozen of the larger 250ml bottle, but is selling them for the same price as the 150ml bottle. In effect, you’re getting 100ml for free!... A puree of fresh jalapenos, lime, apple cider vinegar and Mexican inspired spices consistency is smooth and creamy, flavour is sweet yet sour. Just add a little Jala-Piri to nachos, tacos, pizzas, enchiladas, fajitas, or make your own chilli con carne by just adding sauce to your pan whilst cooking. Divine when used on fish! In line with all Belicious products, Jalapiri contains no preservatives, binders, thickening agents or unnatural flavour enhancers. Vegan and Gluten free, it is good for everyone! Ingredients: Australian grown jalapenos, lime, coriander, coconut sugar, rock salt, apple cider vinegar, onion and garlic, herbs and spices.

19.01.2022 Friday is Box Divvy Delivery day for Broula Rd. Have a great weekend everyone!

19.01.2022 If you don't know what to do with those aubergines or eggplants added to the starter order this week: You might need to add some tomatoes and zucchinis to your splits too and make ratatouille. https://www.jamieoliver.com//vegetabl/classic-ratatouille/

19.01.2022 As everyone is loving the Avocados at the moment, here's some interesting Box Divvy Avo facts! Did you know that avocados don’t ripen until they’re picked? It’s actually the harvesting (picking) action that triggers the ripening process. The Hass avocados have a rough skin but a creamy texture. As the Hass ripens, its skin goes from green to a dark purple. Before cutting, make sure they have plenty of ‘give’ when pressed: an unripe avocado is pretty tasteless.... Box Divvy Avocados will usually come to you hard as they have just been picked and not ‘gassed’ in order to ripen them. Most supermarket avocados are gassed with ethylene to get them ‘just right’ when they go onto the shelf. This will shorten its life: they tend to go brown within a few days of purchasing. Box Divvy avocados are left to ripen naturally. Whilst you might have to wait a little, they’ll then last a week. #avacado #freshfood #fruit

06.01.2022 Yummo! https://www.food.com//sweet-potato-pepper-and-eggplant-bak

06.01.2022 There are not many grey zucchini growers, and with low supply, they often sell over $6/Kg. In fact, in Harris Farm Online they’re currently $8.99 so anywhere below $4 is positively cheap! Lebanese zucchini are often stuffed with a mixture of rice, meat, dried fruit and herbs. They tend to stay firmer when baked in tomato sauce, whilst green zucchini tends to go a little soggy. They’re also sweeter and nuttier, whilst green zucchini is more neutral in flavour. At these prices, you can have both!

05.01.2022 Thanks BD Emu Plains - Some great comparisons!

05.01.2022 Market Update: FRUIT News * Kensington Pride mangoes are now starting to show up in good numbers and prices have dropped below $3/ea. We expect them to be $2.50 by the end of next week * Afourer mandarins, have dropped below $2/Kg. All citrus is going strong still, with lemons dropping back under $3/Kg * Apple prices have eased back a bit, especially Pink Lady * Berries just keep going: strawberries (from WA this week) will be around $2 punnet, and blueberries around ...$3. Oh, and don’t forget those raspberries: just $4.76 a punnet and the quality is superb! * Watermelons are back! They’re small well, around 3-4kg each so they’ll fit in your fridge once you halve them, and they’re just $1.65/Kg See more

03.01.2022 Our very own Bel has sample pack available. Just add them to your order!

03.01.2022 We know the food is better and the prices are cheaper than the big supermarkets but it's nice to do a comparison from time to time!

01.01.2022 Vegetable Market Update! Victorian asparagus are down to $1.45 a bunch, crisp as chips but waaaay healthier. Beans, snow peas and sugar snaps prices continue to be near the season’s low... Charlie Vella in Freemans Reach still can’t get over how grow-some this season is: he will be picking record quantities of celery ($1.81), cauliflowers ($2.34), kale, silverbeet and zucchini flowers. Give it another week and he’ll be picking zucchini as well The Grima’s in Horsley Park will be bringing in loads of Dutch carrots decent bunches for just $2 Simon Chong is predicting a big drop in shallot prices, from over $2 a bunch last week to $1.70 and probably lower over the coming week or so. Broccoli shoots - find under Broccoli regular. They are popping out all over the place so Gerard Saad in Wilberforce will be cutting these this week for $2.50/kg. Also, he will have green cabbages at half the price of supermarkets at $1.81 each.
