How it works

1. We source the highest quality, locally produced, seasonal organic food available.  Starting with CERES very own farm, then from eco-friendly growers close to Melbourne. If it’s not available nearby, then from further afield, but always as close to home as possible.

2. The produce is delivered to our warehouse in Northcote where we pack it into a variety of fruit and veg boxes.

3. Sign up, choosing a convenient Food Host pick up location near you. Find out which one suits you best here.

4. Make sure your personal details are correct because we send email & sms reminders to you weekly so you never forget to order

5. From our online shop you order organic fruit and/or veggie boxes and any other organic groceries you may need. We have box varieties and sizes to suit all lifestyles and budgets.

6. You can even select items and add them to your cart as “standing orders,” meaning the order will repeat weekly, fortnightly or monthly – depending on what options you choose. You can pay for order upfront or we can deduct the total amount from your credit card on a weekly basis.

7. The boxes and extras are then delivered to your Food Host drop-off points around metropolitan Melbourne to be picked up by you on the set day and time.

8. Members collect their food boxes from a convenient Food Host location and also get the chance to meet like minded people in their neighbourhood.

9. If you ride (bicycle trailer or basket?) or walk (using a shopping caddy perhaps) to pick up your organic food each week, you will be playing an even more important part in reducing food miles

9. Remember to pack down your box and leave it at your Host in the designated area the following week. By recycling your box, you’re further contributing to a healthy and sustainable food system. Yay!

Just by buying your organic fruit and vegetables from the Fair Food box delivery scheme, you contribute directly to…

• Improving community food systems,

• Creating fair working conditions for farmers,

• Boosting the environment

All while you get tastier, fresher & healthier grub at the best possible price! Phew…
