Ordering and FAQs

Please place orders by 10:30am Friday for delivery the following week. Thank you.

About your order and delivery

  • All cancellations / amendments to any orders must be made a minimum of 7 days before your next delivery or you will be charged (unless agreed otherwise).  This helps us to plan the produce we need to buy from our farmers and growers.
  • Non-delivery. With increased demand, your order may arrive slightly later in the day. Please email or call us if you have not received your delivery by 5pm, after you have checked your doorstep before contacting us about a non-delivery.
  • Safe place if you are not in. If you are not in, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have informed us about a safe, and dry, place. Once your veggie box has been left, we cannot accept responsibility for missing or stolen boxes.
  • Returning cardboard boxes and paper bags. Please leave any used boxes / bags for us to collect in a safe, dry place to make it easier for our drivers to find. 
  • Delivery date. We shall confirm your delivery date as soon as your order has been processed by the email we hold on file for you.

FAQs

Organic Boxes

  • Core basics in each standard vegetable box include potatoes, onions and carrots (quantity and variety may vary depending on the size received from our growers).
  • For a full breakdown of how many types of fruit & veg are in our boxes please refer to the variety of delicious box options found here.
  • If there is something you prefer not to receive all you need to do is update your own preference section and you can change your preferences at any time!
  • We offer a personalised service for our customers where you can order only the produce you prefer and can Build Your Own Box using seasonal fresh 100% organic produce.
