Dead simple. You share boxes online using the App. SUSPENDING ORDERS
When you tick the date, wait, it will turn red to confirm suspension. You’re expected to order weekly or fortnightly. STARTING ORDER
There’s a Starting Order based on your weekly ‘wish list’ VOTE and you can take out up to 3 things. Every week BEFORE Order Creation do a Wish List Vote to help Hubster (person who organisers Hub) to set up Starting Order. WANT MORE? SHARE BOXES known as SPLITS
If you wish for more, you join Splits and share boxes. You can suggest a box to share or to your Hubster. Such as saying to your group: “Who’d like to share a box of apples?”

At order cut-off you pay automatically online (Visa or Mastercard & Secure Eway Payment gateway) then boxes from growers & food wholesalers come to the Hubster’s house for packing. You pick up from their place or they may offer home delivery. FRUIT, VEG, BREAD, EGGS – Order, pay, receive this week
GROCERIES – Order, pay, receive next week due to fresh roasting of coffee and made to order. BREAD baker direct – Minimum HUB order total is $30
GROCERIES wholesaler direct – Minimum HUB order is $75. MEAT AND SEAFOOD (NEW) – Order every 4 weeks. READ THE AMOUNTS YOU ARE PURCHASING
Please check carefully if the items are single, handfuls, 500gm, 1 kg etc. Don't assume it's by one item. EXAMPLE: Cherries sold by the box, make sure you’re not putting in 5 thinking it's handfuls when it's boxes. Read the descriptions please. EXTRAS
There are ALWAYS extras as the box belongs to members so your Hubster will divvy extras when available. There is also usually a SWAP box - if you forget to customise your Starting Order, you can throw in some apples and take out some carrots that someone else did not want. You will get great value. COMMUNITY BOX
Many Hubster’s ask members if this SWAP BOX can become a COMMUNITY KINDNESS BOX given to a family in need. This is part of the Social Enterprise experience by being part of the Hub. NOT WANT AN ORDER? There are no contracts, you can suspend orders when you don’t want them. WANT EXACTLY 1 tomato 2 oranges? Then Box Divvy is not for you. This is a coop and things are in handfuls NOT exact items. You need to be flexible but you'll always get good value. We are a group of community minded people wanting to change the food system. Reduce packaging and pay our farmers fairly. By reducing our carbon footprint by 90% this means we buy in bulk as a group and then share it. We need to be a bit flexible. You will know roughly what you will get but you can’t get exact. We have a Packing Guide but the numbers will change as produce is smaller or larger. Mostly you will get extras overall. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I SPEND? You will pay the STARTING ORDER PLUS if you join in SPLITS or ADD Groceries. At the bottom of MY ORDER you will see the MAX you will pay if all your SPLITS get over the line, any groceries you’ve ordered and the Starting Order. You can reduce the SPLITS or Groceries you joined BEFORE CUTOFF. PACKAGING
Much of the produce comes loose so please provide your Hubster with a NAME LABELLED BAG: ALSO - calico/wash nets to put handfuls in (do not expect your Hubster to provide paper bags please): Bring in your old icecream containers, for example, for the Hub to put soft stuff in. If you get an item in plastic, recycle it in your soft plastic bin. We don't interrupt the packing from the farmer. Farmers are trying to work out how to transport produce and it can’t always be plastic free - for the moment. The Sugar Cane bags are not strong, don't last and definitely not airtight. Cardboard and paper fall apart. New technology is being worked on. NOT FOR ME
If after you’ve tried it and Box Divvy is not working the way you want, then you can cancel membership. So? Join our group to make a difference. You have the power to do so. Cut your food bill significantly – Wow! The goal: to cut your food bill, without compromising on the quality, freshness and variety of food. With minimal effort, minimal packaging and food miles, and still paying farmers and suppliers a fair price for their produce.

Not just a box.
Not just food.

Joining a Hub as a member and then becoming a Hubtser and running a Box Divvy Hub is my contribution to this change, to my family, my children and hopefully our future.

Come and UnSupermarket.

Product News

Aussie SPC Ardmona tomatoes making their Box Divvy debut
McKenzie Canned Tomatoes remain a big-seller, but as they use imported Italian tomatoes, we contacted SPC Ardmona several months ago to re-balance our offering with Australian-grown and owned canned tomatoes. However, in order to compete effectively with the imports, we drove a hard bargain. In the end, SPC came to the party – allowing us to undercut Colesworths by between 36% and 47%. They’re gonna hate us…

~ Sandhurst marinated artichokes 170g jar ~

This pack size has been discontinued, and Box Divvy has bought the lot because the Best Before Date is not until 2027. And at $1.25 a jar, they are 63% cheaper than the equivalent pack in Colesworth.

Here are 10 artichoke ideas:
🧡 Add them to your next pizza, with ham, mozzarella and olives
🧡 Add them to a Greek salad with feta, tomatoes and olives.
🧡 Add them to a Mediterranean charcuterie board, with olives, chargrilled capsicum and eggplant, salami and cheese
🧡 Puree them with olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese: makes a pesto-like pasta sauce
🧡 Add them to a cheese melt: artichoke hearts and cheddar cheese on crunchy Shepherd’s Italian sourdough
🧡 Add them to a marinara mix and toss over pasta.
🧡 Add artichokes and Gorgonzola (or any other blue-vein cheese) to puff pastry, bake until the pastry is crunchy. Makes for a great snack.
🧡 Puree them with olive oil, white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper to make the best-ever vinaigrette.
🧡 Add them to smoked salmon, aioli and capers on a crunchy bread roll.
🧡 Eat them straight from the jar.

NZ King Salmon on strike - fpr those with a Chill run.

Cold weather in NZ – really?? – is slowing down hatchlings and fish growth at the Ora King Salmon fisheries. We’ve had little warning and the impact is immediate. This week’s order was cut back to a little over half, and the next 4-6 weeks won’t see much improvement. We’ve therefore taken the difficult decision to remove King Salmon from Marketplace.

We cannot bring ourselves to go back to Tassie salmon: that boat has sailed.

However, farmed Ocean Trout is a sustainable alternative that looks and eat remarkably similar to Atlantic salmon. Ocean Trout has a milder, more delicate flavour and a high oil content compared with the robust flavour of salmon – but often, you’ll notice the difference only when eaten side by side.
We will list the same pack sizes as for salmon:
• Four-pack skin-on
• Twin-pack skin-on
• Sashimi-grade skin off
We’re just waiting for a price from Pyrmont before listing these later today, but one thing is certain: they will be cheaper than the Ora King Salmon.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 — 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗕𝗼𝘅 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝘃𝘆 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺

THAT sentence alone fills me with sadness and dread! 👆🏼

BUT, there is good news - read on!


😢 Dairy farmers are not the only ones doing it tough. Did you know that across Australia, 34% of vegetable farmers are considering leaving the industry within the next year?

💲 Rising costs, shrinking returns, and pressure from supermarkets are forcing many small farmers to hang up their boots. When growers quit, fresh local food becomes harder to find, prices go up, and communities lose vital connections to where their food comes from.

💦 Adding to the challenge, climate change is hitting local growers hard. Unpredictable weather—droughts, floods, and heatwaves—makes farming riskier and less predictable. Crops can fail or produce less, while pests and diseases thrive in warmer conditions. These pressures increase costs and stress, sometimes forcing farmers to scale back or leave farming altogether.

🍅 For most communities, this means fewer fresh, local foods and rising prices.

👍🏼 Here’s the good news: as part of the Box Divvy community, you’re helping change that story.

The Box Divvy community are supporting these farmers by directly purchasing their products, build resilience by encouraging more sustainable farming and providing a steady income. Then farmers have a chance at adapting to climate changes and growing the food we all rely on.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀

At Box Divvy, we don’t just deliver food — we build genuine partnerships with the farmers who grow your produce. Here’s how we support them:

💛 Fair pay & honest prices: We pay prices that reflect the true cost of growing fresh, seasonal food, not the rock-bottom rates supermarkets often impose. This helps farmers cover their costs and keep farming sustainably.
💛 Collaborative seasonal planning: We work closely with growers throughout the year to plan crops based on what our community wants to eat. This reduces waste and means you get fresher, more delicious produce.
💛 Sustainability & care: We support farmers committed to environmentally friendly practices that protect soil, water, and pollinators — because healthy farms make healthier food.
💛 Open communication: We stay connected with farmers, sharing challenges like weather or pests and working together to find solutions that keep your box full and farms thriving.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂

✔️ You might wonder if ethical eating fits your budget. The truth is, when you shop seasonally, support local growers, and reduce waste, you often save money compared to buying processed or imported food.
Plus, you’re investing in a food system that values people, planet, and community.

✔️ Every Box Divvy order sends a powerful message to growers: “We see you, we value you, and we want you to keep growing.”

✔️ So next time you unpack your Box Divvy fresh fruit and veg, remember: it’s more than just food. It’s a lifeline for farmers, a boost for communities, and a way to eat ethically without breaking the bank.

Have you tried the new natural stock range?

We have and there's no going back to our old supermarket brand now. These are seriously loaded with flavour!
Delicious and convenient.

Need I say more? (I'm going to anyway)

🗣"Cartons of stock are cheaper!" 💁‍♀️Are they?
🗣"Well... they're more convenient!" 🤷‍♀️But they go bad after a couple days...
🗣"The paper cartons are recyclable too!" 💁‍♀️ Actually they're not because it's lined with plastic, meaning they get thrown into landfill

So why are you still buying cartons of stock?
