The Original

This box was the original box we started with, back in 2021 when we were just dabbling in vegetable boxes. Formerly known as the Classic Box, the Original is a medium sized box, containing 8-9 different types of produce and estimated to be about the right amount to feed 2 adults for a week.

All our boxes are Little Farms collaborations with other organic and regenerative farms in the Wairarapa, this enables us to provide you with a box filled with variety all year round.

The staples in this box are:

Lettuce - The type of lettuce leaf changes with the seasons, but what doesn't change is how crunchy and fresh the salad is.

Kale/Silverbeet/Spinach bunch - Your weekly greens all bundled up together ready for sandwiches, juicing, cooking and everything else! The mix varies seasonally, in Summer we have more silverbeet and in Winter, more spinach.

Seasonal goodies:

The rest of the box is a mix of seasonal vegetables and even fruits. In Summer you can expect vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber and zucchini, and in Winter, vegetables like cabbage, carrots and onions.

The pictures are an indication of what you can expect at different times of the year. The first picture is the Original box in Summer, the second picture is in Autumn, the third picture is late Spring, the forth picture is in Winter and the video of the Original box is taken in late Summer.

As our boxes are seasonal and local, we offer what is in season in the Wairarapa. This means we won't have your staple vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes in the boxes every week, instead they will be in our boxes only when they are growing in the Wairarapa. We find this seasonality really beautiful as it makes you appreciate when things are in season and connects you to the seasonal flow of nature.

If you subscribe to this box there is a minimum of 4 weeks before you can pause, cancel or alter your subscription.

As our order cut off is Sunday midnight, subscriptions are set up to auto-renew every Sunday (after your initial purchase), to avoid confusion or paying over a week in advance for your box. Please make sure you have the funds for your order in your account on a Sunday. If your payment doesn't go through you may miss out on a box that week. If your payment does decline please contact us immediately and we can add your order to the harvest list manually and arrange alternative payment for that week - if you contact us before 10am Monday. 

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS 

If there is a particular vegetable you can not eat, please leave a note at checkout when you order and we will try our best to keep it out of your box. 

Please consider subscribing to our boxes.

For a farm to be truly sustainable it needs to be resilient, so that it can keep operating into the future. It is really helpful for us, if you subscribe to our Farm Boxes. This helps us plan how much to grow and gives us some financial stability so that we can invest in the farms long term with the security that we will be able to sell the food we grow.
