5 Week Spring Harvest Share 🥦🍅🥒
Couldn't load pickup availability
The tomatoes are in full swing and I have more capacity to take on more veggie box customers 🎉
Join us for the latter half of our normal 10 week term and enjoy a share of the harvest every week, for 5 weeks. Seasonal, organically grown veggies, grown by us.
By committing to a season of vegetables, you are the lifeblood of our farm. You allow us to plan, employ people, invest in infrastructure, and grow both veggies and our business. Your support makes this whole thing work.
Your 5 weeks will start on the 20th of November and run through to the 18th of December with the school term.
What size should I get?
The size of our boxes are based on feeding you for most nights of the week, plus a lunch here or there. So if you eat at home every night and eat a lot of veggies in every meal, you probably should grab the size up. While I endeavour for each box to be a similar size, it's inevitable that things fluctuate a little, but the dollar value is always there.
Small shares are designed for a single person who eats a lot of veg or two average adults with roughly 6 items in each box equating to $30.
Medium shares are designed for two adults who eat lot of veg or a small family that supplements with additional items, with roughly 9 items in each box equating to $45.
Large shares are for big families or a few adults who are champion veggie-eaters! This box will contain roughly 10-12 items but with greater quantity - like 2 bags of peas or 2 heads of broccoli instead of one, or a whole cabbage instead of half. This box equates to $60
What can I expect each week?
We aim to craft each box with a good mix of roots, leafy greens, fruits, flowering crops, and herbs with as many favourites as possible whilst also expanding your palate here and there. Expect a glorious varied mix of veg including:
- Warm-season fruit crops including zucchinis, button squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and capsicum.
- Punnets of rainbow cherries and large slicing tomatoes galore. Plus fragrant basil.
- Bags of sweet and crunchy yellow & green beans.
- A variety of cabbages including sweet sugarloaf, wombok, plus perhaps a few straggler brassicas like broccoli or cauliflower.
- Crunchy roots with their greens often intact like carrots, beetroot, turnips & radishes.
- Bags of cut greens like rocket, salad mix, English spinach, pea shoots, tatsoi and purple mizuna.
- Luscious bunches of kale, chard, bok choy, parsley, dill, coriander, celery, spring onions.
- Something a little different occasionally, like fennel, radicchio, or mustard.
- Bulbing onions and the last of the gorgeous garlic.
- Guest starring produce from our local friends and farmers like rhubarb, potatoes, and pumpkins!
What if I hate/can't eat X veggie?
Before you purchase, please message us about it! We can happily accommodate the occasional dietary requirement but if your preferences are too restrictive, this whole subscription thing may not be for you. And that's okay! You're certainly welcome to order exactly what you'd like on a weekly basis.
Modifying a lot of your box every week just represents too much extra work and removes the benefit of subscriptions for us. We encourage you to explore your weekly veggie box with curiosity and excitement to try new things!
Plus if you collect your box in person, we often have extra bits and pieces that you can swap an item for.
What if I'm going to be away some of these weeks?
Whilst the idea is to commit to 5 weeks, if you know you're going to be away please get in touch and I'm very happy for you to just pay for and receive the weeks you are here 💞
I live or work in the Maitland area.
Great - you can collect your box weekly from our veggie party at Largs Public School, free of charge. Woohoo. Pickup is between 3pm-6pm on Thursdays.
I live in Newcastle.
Fab - our wonderful delivery driver can bring your box to your door on Thursday evening.
The below is our approx. delivery area at this stage. However if you're just outside it, get in touch!
Sounds awesome but I can't afford such a big upfront payment!
That's totally cool and fine 🫶 Just get in touch and we can set up a weekly or fortnightly payment for you.
How do I get my veggies?

Fab - our wonderful delivery driver will bring your box to your door on Wednesday afternoon.
Important!! We deliver your veggies in paper bags (as ecologically mindful as we can be with a disposable product!) and most of the year it is warm in the evenings so if you will not be home then we strongly advise you to leave an esky with ice brick out for your order to be placed lovingly inside.
Below is our approx. delivery zone. If you are outside it and are sad about that, please get in touch.
Which size suits my household?
The size of our boxes are based on feeding you for most nights of the week, plus a lunch here or there. So if you eat at home almost every night and eat veggies in every meal, you probably should grab the size up.
While I endeavour for each box to be a similar size, it's inevitable that things fluctuate a little, but the dollar value is always there.
Small shares are designed for one adult or two people who want to also order a few additional items weekly, with roughly 6 items in each box equating to $30.
Medium shares are designed for a couple who eats a moderate amount of veg or a small family that supplements with additional items, with roughly 10 items in each box equating to $45.
Large shares are for big families or a few adults who are champion veggie-eaters! This box will contain roughly 10-12 items but with greater quantity - like 2 bags of peas or 2 heads of broccoli instead of one, or a whole cabbage instead of half. This box equates to $60
What can I expect each week?
We aim to craft each box with a good mix of roots, leafy greens, fruiting crops, and herbs with as many favourites as possible whilst also expanding your palate here and there. Expect a glorious varied mix of veg including:
- Scrumptious cool-season brassicas including classic broccoli, purple sprouting broccoli, cauliflower, beautiful fractal romanesco, and gai lan (Chinese broccoli).
- Warm-season fruit crops including zucchinis, button squash, cucumbers, and cobs of sweet corn.
- From November the tomatoes will begin! Punnets of rainbow cherries and large slicing tomatoes galore. Plus fragrant basil.
- Bags of sweet and crunchy snow peas and sugar snap peas and then later green beans.
- A variety of cabbages from large green ones to pointy ones to red ones to wombok.
- Crunchy roots with their greens often intact like carrots, beetroot, turnips & radishes.
- Bags of cut greens like rocket, salad mix, English spinach, pea shoots, tatsoi and purple mizuna.
- Some palate-expanders including flavoursome fennel, bitter radicchio, and squat little alien kohlrabi.
- Luscious bunches of kale, chard, bok choy, parsley, dill, coriander, celery, spring onions & leeks.
- Guest starring produce from our local friends and farmers like rhubarb, potatoes, and pumpkins.

What if I'm going to be away some weeks?
That's okay! We have 3 options:
1. You can either arrange for a loved one to receive and enjoy your box,
2. I can arrange for it to be given away to someone in need, or
3. Login to your membership manager and skip the week BEFORE midnight on the Tuesday of the week.
That being said, the ethos of a Community Supported Agriculture scheme still stands. By becoming a member of this vegetable club you are integral part of the farm by giving us a certain amount of stability in sales so we know how much we need to grow and how much money we're going to make by servicing our members. So please keep that in mind and only skip a week when you need to - ie. when you're going away and can not find anyone to enjoy your share for you.
If you find yourself wanting to skip a week because you're not getting through the vegetables, then please size down instead. If you're just not enjoying it, then please depart the club to make your spot available to someone else who is better positioned to enjoy it!
