Aussie Farmers Direct

they seemed a great idea but didn't really work for us
plus the people we had were pretty hopeless

Hi,
Got my first delivery yesterday of the fruit and vegies that I ordered. Had milk and bread delivered this morning. Great quality, and great for convenience too. Milk at the moment is lots cheaper in supermarkets, but not too bad otherwise.

hey,

i have used them a while back and it was ok i spose. The huge problem for me came when I cancelled my order and then about 3 months later i saw on my statement a few times they had just taken money out of my account for no reason! Dodgey. I called and emailed them saying delete all my details off their system and no one ever responded. Maybe a genuine mistake but very, very annoying.

I havent used them but that seems like alot of money for a few bits of fruitand a bite of veg.
I do all my fruit and veg shopping at the local Farmers Market for about $35 a week and that meets all our fruit and veg needs for 3 adults and 2 ravenous teens.
2 tomatoes wouldnt even last me 1 day lol.
But have a go and see if its meets your needs.

I have been using them since July 2010 and started with milk and bread and progressed onto the a small fruit and veg box which was great the boys eat all te fruit straight away. I only get 2 onions so not too many. Lots of nectarines which I love. Definitely cheaper for me than going to the supermarket.

I used to use them when I lived closer to the city. They were good. I'm pretty sure you can also choose what you want if you want to do it that way, instead of just getting their choice of fruits and vegies.
I do think they're more expensive than going to the supermarket, but much more convenient.

Hi,
Just checked this out, and have placed a one off order to see how it goes.
Can see this being good during optifast phase, no need to be tempted by shops... can nearly avoid altogether.
Thanks for tip, Kaz.

Yes I have used them for a while, and just cancelled my orders from this week on, the problem is that you get lots of onions, and not much else!!!

Due to the floods the fruit and vege is disappointing, over time it got slowly worse! I did keep calling and asking for NO onions, and more veges but noone really listened....

I also got milk and bread delivered which was fine, but milk is now so much cheaper at the shops, coles and woolies now with the price war makes milk so much cheaper....it is nice to support the farmers but........it does get expensive!

Well that would do me dont know what the rest of the family would eat though lol
