Why Organicbox??

Organicbox is the result of a passion for organics and health, wanting to make a difference in the world now, and the world we leave for future generations. 

I'm an Adelaide Mum who had a desire to create a business doing something I loved.  I wanted to provide a unique service for Adelaide families looking to have easy, convenient access to healthy, nutritious certified organic produce and products.   Being a busy Mum, I knew how difficult it was to get good organic food, plus when I was working full-time, even part-time, it was almost impossible juggling time and family. 

The range of Organic boxes is based around seasonal produce, availability and quality.  We aim to maintain a base of standard items but as in nature things change quickly so please keep an eye on the box contents and produce lists to be kept up to date on what is currently available.  We now update our Facebook page each week on Tuesday afternoons to let you know what is unavailable for delivery that week.

We don't just do set boxes - you are able to choose between buying a preset seasonal box as it is; buy a box and add more items or just shop and create your own box.  We have a minimum order of $36 (including the $7.00 delivery charge) and love to send the boxes out to SA country area's where possible - although this is sometimes very difficult trying to find transport companies that can do it.  

We have the Share Cow program that connects you with a local dairy.  You can buy shares in a cow and have the milk from your own cow delivered FRESH and NATURAL.  We also now have the locally farmed Kenton Creek Grass Fed Hormone Free Black Angus beef (who are in the process of ACO organic certification, and have been farming organically for well over 10 years now).  When available we will have a small range of Triple B Biodynamic beef, as well as Certified Organic Chicken.  Fairview Organic Lamb (by the Kalleske family) is available to purchase as whole or sides quarterly, and I will possibly do some free range organic pork as whole or sides in the future.  The pork is farmed by Moo View Dairy at Willunga. 

Organicbox is passionate about packing best quality organic produce.  It is packed in a large cold room into foam boxes so the produce remains fresh and cold until it reaches your door.  During summer on extremely hot days we will have ice packs added in the boxes for extra guarantee of your produce remaining cold.

As an ACO Certified Retailer you are 100% guaranteed that the certified organic produce on my list is what is sent out.  I am passionate about truth in organics!!  I have a small range of uncertified items available when certified organic is not an option, or the certified supply is sporadic.  These items have either certified organic ingredients or have been lab tested for heavy metals, pesticides etc.  I do not accept or sell any fresh produce that has not been certified organic or lab tested.....so no backyard produce, no spray free produce or locally grown uncertified produce is acceptable.  I have extremely high standards, ethics and integrity which translate into my business.

We pack produce from SA growers always as first choice, Vic border growers and other states as needed eg bananas have to come from Qld.  If you are extremely supportive of local certified organic produce please view the items in the Local Grower Boxes for your guarantee of local produce.

I am on the committee of OBDA (Organic and Bio Dynamic Alliance SA) which is a group of growers, retailers and other parties who are committed to promoting and growing the profile of certified organic in SA.

Organicbox customers are also passionate about their health, and that of their families.  They care for the environment and they want to invest in health and wellness by ensuring the food they eat and provide is certified organic and free of harmful toxins and chemicals.  They love to support local farmers, fair trade, and small businesses like mine!

My story (briefly):

I have been involved with Miessence, an organic home business, for over 6 years, and have been intensely researching organics, ingredients and natural health for well over 14 years.  I came to learn that what I was eating, drinking and putting on my body is full of man-made chemicals that have never been tested for safety, and after going through the challenges of 'unknown' infertility for nearly 10 years I began to research and learn all I could.  Along my journey I started seeking answers and went to see a Naturopath.  One of the first things she suggested I do was read a book on natural fertility by Francesca Naish.  This book was the turning point for me, an awakening, because that was when I first learned that the food, water and personal care products I had taken for granted as being safe, are actually full of dangerous chemicals, additives, colouring, flavours, GMO's and are harmful to our health, our bodies and the planet.  These chemicals and toxins can cause all sorts of health issues - it is actually really quite scary.  So massive changes were made.  Without going too much further into my personal story, since that book I have continued to read, learn and research, and became passionate about organics, natural health and wellness....and I have two beautiful children now.

The choice for being organic is an easy one for me, and my family, knowing that organic produce is healthier, more nutritious, fueling the body with all the vitamins and minerals it needs in the correct form is something that can not be overlooked in our current times of increased disease and illness.  Nature gives us exactly what the body needs in the correct form and in the correct amounts.  Organics also supports the environment, is better for the earth, water quality, plants and animals and supports ethical, conscious, responsible farmers. 

I am really passionate about certified organics for health and wellness; caring for and healing the body.  That is why Certified Organic is what Organicbox is all about........the major drive behind why I do what I do....

Please try the service and experience the fresh food!  We love to hear what you think about our service and we now have the lovely Teresa following up with all new customers to seek feedback on their first deliveries, all feedback is appreciated as it helps me to grow and improve the service to all customers.

In Health and Vitality
