Farm Box · coming soon
A crate of whatever is actually good this week.
Not a fixed list. Nobody who grows vegetables can promise you the same six things every week, so we do not pretend to.
Coming soon. The Farm Box starts when fresh produce does, so none of the boxes below can be ordered yet.

What a Monday crate looks like.
A sample Family Box, to show what goes in. When the box starts, this is published the evening the order book closes, so what you read here is what was cut.
Family Box · 18 August
Monsoon cut
Weighed at the collection centre · printed on the label
Total 6.4 kg
Next week follows the plots, not a plan. Rain moves this by days, not weeks.
Why it changes
A vegetable is cheapest, best and least travelled in its own season. Fixing a list in advance means buying out of season somewhere else and trucking it in, which is exactly the thing the line exists to avoid.
- Published the evening before cutting
- Swap or skip anything before the 9 PM close
- Traceable to the plot it was cut from

How the box runs

Cut to your order, not to a forecast.
The box is the fresh-produce stretch of The Dinkomart Line, packed as one crate instead of loose items. Eighteen hours, gate to door.

Whatever is ordered by nine is the quantity that gets cut. Nothing beyond it is harvested.

On the partner plots, in the dark, while it is still cool enough for a leaf to hold.
Mon · 6 AM
Graded and weighed
Sorted by size and blemish at the collection centre. Rejects go to the compost line.

Down to four degrees
The step that decides whether a leaf reaches you crisp or limp. Held there from here on.

Bulk crates broken into household boxes at the city hub and routed for the evening run.

At your door
Weight slip on the label. What you paid funds next season's inputs on the same plots.
Sizes
Three sizes, one delivery day.

Box prices are indicative placeholders until the real weekly rates are wired in, and the crate weights above are typical rather than guaranteed. Individual produce prices in the shop are placeholders too.

Coming soon
Loose produce, coming soon too.
Everything in the box will be sold on its own as well, once fresh produce starts. Until then the packed ranges are open.
