Produce & Fruit Box FAQ's
Where does your produce come from?
About 80% of our produce comes from around Canterbury and the South Island, supporting local farmers and reducing food miles. Other produce that cannot be grown locally is sourced from around the country, or from overseas for produce that isn't grown in New Zealand.
How fresh is your produce?
Our produce is very fresh! Sometimes our greens, like spinach, silver beet and lettuce etc., are harvested and arrive the morning of your delivery. Other products like carrots and pumpkins are no more than a day or two old. Our fruits are harvested and at your door within a few days.
How do I store my produce?
Once you have received your produce box, please store all produce properly to ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Your produce will arrive in sealed carton boxes so roaming pets will not get a chance to taste your produce first!

Did you know?
Shocking amounts of pesticides are found in conventional produce. If you consumed an average apple you would be eating over 30 pesticides, even after washing it!
Non-organic foods can contain hazardous chemicals. A study found that the urine and saliva of children eating a variety of conventional foods from supermarkets contained biological markers of organophosphates, the family of pesticides spawned by the creation of nerve gas agents in World War II.
How much does conventional really cost? For every kg of garlic imported from China there is an additional 5500kJ of energy from fossil fuels consumed, and the emission of 380g of carbon dioxide and 5.2g of nitrogen oxides.
