Eat Beautifully: Melbourne’s Best Fresh Produce Boxes, Delivered
Where Melbourne gets its greens — delivered, delicious, and always local.
Your weekly shop — but make it With Love, Meghan levels of chic. Forget wrestling with trolleys and supermarket fluorescents — the best fresh produce boxes in Melbourne are doing the lifting (and the picking) for you. Delivered to your door in recyclable crates, they’re brimming with seasonal colour: knobbly heirloom carrots, buttery avocados, and sun-warmed tomatoes that still smell faintly of soil. Sustainable, stylish, and a little bit smug — just how your groceries should feel.
Whether you’re after certified organic veg, “ugly” fruit with a conscience, or a mystery box that feels like a mini farmers’ market, here’s where to get the good stuff.
Common Ground Project Vege Boxes
Rooted in the rolling farmland of Freshwater Creek, Common Ground Project is a regenerative farm with a mission: to grow good food and good futures. Their seasonal veg boxes brim with organic, ethically grown produce — crisp greens, sun-warmed tomatoes, earthy roots and herbs that smell like the garden after rain. Designed to inspire home cooking, each box is a true blue ode to the land and the people who tend it.
Available in sizes for solo cooks or families, with optional local extras like eggs and honey, it’s the easiest (and most delicious) way to eat with the seasons.
Sitchu Tip: Orders occur in a weekly cycle, so orders must be in by 7:30am Tuesday to be fulfilled for pickup the following week (that is, order before 7:30am Tuesday to pick up Tuesday through Friday the following week).

CERES Fair Food — The Conscience-Led Classic
A social enterprise with an environmental soul, CERES Fair Food turns grocery shopping into activism. Every box supports organic Victorian farmers and community programs, and the produce is top-drawer: glossy eggplants, perfect pears, and greens so perky you’ll want to eat them immediately. Mixed boxes start at around $47.50, climbing to $88.50 for a family feast, and delivery runs six days a week.
Add sourdough, eggs and pantry staples while you’re there — this is a grocer that makes you feel good in more ways than one.

Farmers Pick — The Delicious Do-Gooder
Call it the glow-up of “ugly” fruit and veg. Farmers Pick rescues perfectly edible produce that supermarkets reject for being too curvy, too small, too much itself — and sells it up to 30 per cent cheaper. Boxes range from petite to family-size (around $35 to $63) and arrive full of surprises: lopsided lemons, twisted cucumbers and the odd oversized capsicum. Subscribers can skip, swap and customise, and the savings are serious. You’re saving the planet, yes, but your bank account will thank you too.

Funky Food — The Control Freak’s Dream
Prefer to curate? Funky Food lets you hand-pick what lands on your doorstep — or opt for their mystery mix if you love a lucky dip. It’s a subscription model with soul: boxes start at $23 for singles and top out at $63 for families, with rescued produce that’s farm-fresh and local. You can blacklist up to four ingredients (no more unsolicited beetroot), build your own box, and even return packaging for reuse. Food waste warriors with commitment issues, this one’s for you.

Pino’s Fine Produce — Market Magic, Minus the Crowds
Straight from the family stalls at Prahran Market, Pino’s brings that market-morning buzz home. A mixed box of fruit and veg — $36 for singles, $60 for families — lands full of whatever’s best that week. Expect crates brimming with basil, citrus, and a generous handful of herbs on the house. There’s no customising, but that’s half the fun: it’s Melbourne’s freshest mystery box, wrapped in old-school service and delivered with a smile.

Farmbox Co. — The Luxe Local
The Rolls-Royce of the bunch. Farmbox Co. delivers certified organic and biodynamic produce so fresh it sometimes arrives with the dew still on it. Essentials boxes start at $55, seasonal family sets at $85, and each one reads like an edible still life — think rainbow chard, fennel bulbs, and fruit that tastes like it came straight off the tree. Their optional add-ons (eggs, butter, artisan honey) make it a one-stop farmers’ market, minus the early wake-up.

Healthy Fresh Food Boxes — The Inner-North Darling
Brunswick’s best-kept secret for locals who brunch hard and cook harder.

It’s a ready-made farmers’ market haul with zero queues, and the inner-north crowd is obsessed. One order and you’ll understand why: it’s thoughtful, hyper-local and exactly what the phrase “made with love” should mean.
Feeding the family, finessing your lunch game, or simply trying to eat something green between meetings — the best fresh produce boxes in Melbourne make it all effortless. They celebrate small growers, cut down on waste, and deliver flavour the big chains can only dream of. The real dilemma?
