Making it such a healthy place to source your food for city folk. Let me know in the comments below if you would like us to expand our delivery areas as we are strongly considering it. If theres enough interest in getting spray free, harvested that day, nutrient rich, naturally grown produce delivered to your doorstep, then we will gladly do it! You would be supporting local growers who chose to grow their food in a way that doesnt harm the land and supporting a local economy what is better than that!!!

23.01.2022 Dont forget to get your orders in by 10am this morning at https://farmersmarketboxes.com.au for a Wednesday afternoon delivery or Click & Collect. We are now stocking Kehoe's Organic products! Kehoes Kitchen are based in Brisbane and owned and operated by husband and wife team Brenden and Katrina Kehoe. They use only the finest locally sourced certified organic fresh produce and their sauerkrauts are dry salted and fully fermented before being jarred.... The nutritional benefits are increased by their traditional fermentation process. A more mature kraut guarantees plentiful beneficial bacteria and a full bodied flavour. The kraut also becomes more acidic and acts as a digestive enzyme, allowing easier digestion and absorption of more nutrients. We have Traditional, Fennel and Garlic, White Kimchi and Kimchi available on the website this morning! Need a different collection time? Contact us to discus your options. https://farmersmarketboxes.com.au

23.01.2022 We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at the Samford Markets.

23.01.2022 This is Lianne Cook from The Vegan Cook! We are so excited to deliver her pre-made, preservative free, organic meals.

Made with real passion, we have 7 meals to currently chose from. Menu changes when the season does Orders in by Tuesday 10am for a Wednesday afternoon delivery Order them here and more... https://farmersmarketboxes.com.au Kate Nielsen

20.01.2022 Connecting Samford businesses for sustainable ideas! This is what we’re about. Andrea Rth owner of The Barber Club and Arran Heideman from Millen Farm have con...nected to utilise all of the cut hair to go into the compost at Millen Farm which helps the soil levels of silica, which means healthier more nutritious veggies, which means healthier more nutritious humans who choose to eat them! Plus this hair would otherwise be taking space in landfill, so this is an awesome collaborative option Does anyone out there have collaborative sustainable ideas for local business? Please share if you do so we can help hook it up. Connection is key Photos by Kate Nielsen
