I don't like to buy from the supermarkets as they don't try and keep business in Australia, and pay our farmers squat. Buying direct makes me feel better, supporting them, it's fresh, they aren't cruel to animals having them in small cages, warehouses etc.
The main thing, the fruit is fresh. It's better than anything else I've ever purchased from a store. Milk is nice and the orange juice.
The mince cooks beautifully, more than obvious its better quality isn't chewy.
I recommend, can get some great deals and saves time searching to find a few good apples at the store
Some friends had been using this service for a while and recommended it to us through a fundraising project where you pay $30 for a bumper box of fruit and vegetables and a margin goes to your school or organisation as profit.
If you join up, you get a $10 credit on your first voucher.
You gotta watch out though, I know their stuff is great, but you can get carried away and the cost adds up.
Their normal boxes are good too - couples box at $26. At first you couldn't choose and got some stuff not used, but that's changed now. There's also an organic box option.
But the big black boxes come in handy for other stuff too.
Nice to know the Farmers are benefitting from this as well.
Approximate cost: $Family pack $39, couples $26 for fruit and veg.
wow didnt know about to the $10 voucher, will have to inform my friend. Thanks
I have been with Aussie Farmers Direct off and on for a few years now. It started when a rep from AFD came around to offer their services and that our local primary school would benefit from a donation from them if I signed up (ring them to get this for your school also). I was very happy with them for a while and used to get carried away with what was on offer, I only stopped when the supermarkets started the $1/ltr milk special to save money and to support our local monthly farmers market. I am back with them to order essentials, milk (as I couldn't keep up with the demand from my family) and bread mainly. Make sure you check off your order when it's delivered as once in a while something may get left off or the wrong size sent, eg. cheese but a phone call to them rectifies things without drama.
Their range has increased since I was last using them about 8 months-1 year ago and looks fantastic.
Just gotta remember to put the esky out the night before delivery otherwise it gets left in the morning sun! Once that happens you don't forget again. (Sometimes they'll lend you one of theirs if they have a spare if you've forgotten which is good.)
Love the idea of helping our farmers and supporting small businesses.
I love the idea of helping farmers with their small businesses :)
Have been a member ever since buying a fridge which had a Farmers Direct voucher included. Great fresh choice of meats and other produce and unlike the big supermarkets the money goes to actual farmers. So support our Aussie farmers and buy from here rather than the big supermarkets and delivery is to your door.
Love their selection
Ever since I received my first delivery, I am impressed by the quality of their produce. Every week I get my milk, bread and meats delivered. Their milk tastes so good compared to what I am used to buying from supermarkets. Also, their bread is made everyday and tastes so fresh. Meats, you are given the choice of choosing the quality (from normal to top quality cuts) of the meats you want. I also notice that they are continuously adding more new products to their range. Milk,bread,meat delivery is always free when you order 3 products. It's not difficult to pick 3 items you want. Love the convenience of getting what I need delivered every week. Saves me time and petrol. But in warmer weather, even though meats come with disposable icepacks, you should still make sure you put an ice pack in your esky.
Love the quality too!:)
I have had my groceries delivered through Aussie Farmer's Direct for the last couple of weeks. The quality of the fresh produce is exceptional and I really feel that my family and I are eating much more healthily now that we have started using this service.
Some items are quite expensive, but I think that this is because they are all of high quality and are Australian made and owned.
I save a lot of money shopping this way as I am not buying additional things that I just see and THINK I need when perusing supermarket isles.
I'd definitley recommend this service.
Love their quality too! it's wonderful
I love the idea of supporting the farmer and Aussie Farmers delivers on this and the Aussie Farmer is where the source all their milk from. Prompt and reliable the milk never fails to appear as ordered.
love the idea of this too!
I have been receiving deliveries on a Mon, Wed and Thu for a cople of years now and am very happy withthe products and service. My local milkman is super nice and friendly.
Approximate cost: $S50.00
Nice review
I got a couple of fruit and vegetable deliveries, and while the convenience was great, I didn't like what I was getting in it so cancelled my orders. I still get emails every week though and they call every couple of weeks despite me saying I'm no longer interested. I couldn't really make sense of the recipes they included in the box - it never had any of the items that I had gotten that week in them as you would expect.
Great service, we get milk twice a week, as it is delivered in the morning a cool bag is given so its still cold when you go out and get it, also available, bread meat and fruit boxes which you can get a mix or choose what goes in it
