It was Strawberries for the win this week at our lovely hub…..

Now what to make???

First off the rank is going to be strawberry cobbler (see recipe in the comments). We’re making it now, will let you know how it turns out!!

Any ideas for the other seven punnets 🤪🤣???

There’s a great article on the Box Divvy website this week, discussing how we should be regularly “eating the rainbow” (link in first comment).

Seems our family have taken this to heart……. look how amazingly colourful tonight’s meal prep is already, and we’ve only just started!!!

Actually it’s a family favourite and regular in our household….

Fried rice for the win here 😍!

A few weeks ago I thought I'd ordered roasted, salted peanuts from our pantry section...turns out I was wrong! However, Google informed me that peanuts with skins on are higher in protein, so that made my error much more appealing!
After a bit of a chat with AI, I ended up with a recipe for protein balls which I made today and they're delicious! Aside from h**p powder, all ingredients were purchased from Box Divvy.

Monday Market Update
A relatively quiet morning, with some welcome price relief for Iceberg lettuce (now under $3 each). Still Victorian, but Xerri will start in a few weeks’ time.

Another price drop: Josephine pears came in below budget and are now $2.82/kg. One of the most fragrant pears, worth a try.

Persimmons are back, albeit smaller fruit than usual.

Regular cherry and grape tomatoes are scarce, but there’s plenty of black and yellow cherry.

Also, Roma tomato supply from North Queensland is picking up - back on the Marketplace menu.

All-in-all, market prices are yet to fully price the effects of higher fuel prices 🤞🤞🤞

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day and the incredible women who make up our Box Divvy community.

Our Hubsters, mostly women but we have wonderful men taking up the call for change too, are more than organisers of good food. They are community builders, change makers, and champions of Australian farmers.

Many of you are women who have stepped up to create food communities right in your neighbourhoods, bringing people together around fresh, affordable produce.

You’re making real change every single week by:
• Building stronger neighbourhood connections
• Making fresh, healthy food more accessible to families
• Supporting Australian farming families to keep doing what they do best, growing food and food wholesalers who feed our nation
• Leading with generosity, care and purpose
• Lifting each other up and showing what collaboration looks like

Being part of this network means knowing you’re never doing it alone. You’re one of many passionate women who believe food can bring people together and that small local actions can create big collective impact.

Today we celebrate the leadership, resilience and heart that you bring to your hubs and your communities.

We’re incredibly proud to stand alongside so many inspiring women who are helping grow something bigger than all of us.
Happy International Women’s Day to our amazing Box Divvy Hubsters.

Thank you for the difference you make.

🔷 It’s peak tomato season, and the prices are looking juicy, literally. Here’s what’s on the menu this week:
Roma Tomatoes – $4.23/kg
Field Tomatoes – $3.84/kg
Truss Tomatoes – $4.61/kg
Truss Tomatoes (5kg tray) – $3.60/kg
Cooking Tomatoes 1kg serve – $2.56/kg
Heirloom tomatoes - $9.80/kg or $2.11 each
If you’re after serious value, grab a 5kg tray of truss tomatoes for $18 (that’s only $3.60/kg). To put that in perspective, Coles has them at $6.90/kg.
If you’re after something special, try some Heirloom tomatoes from Perfection Fresh. They are worth the upgrade. Heirlooms are grown from older, non-hybrid seeds, so they’re full of unique flavours and colours that you won’t find in supermarket varieties. These ones pack intense, complex taste with a firm, low-juice texture that’s perfect for slicing and serving fresh. They truly taste like summer in every bite.

🔷 Brussels sprouts? Not everyone’s favourite, although plenty of our members love them. But wait until you taste these. They’re unseasonal, sure, but also unseasonably cheap at $8.84/kg (Coles is charging over $20/kg right now).
