About Us

 

Our Story....the beginning

 
Welcome to the Organics Box!  It was started in order to make eating organic fruit and vegetables available at a cost that is affordable. We (Kylie, Lars and Yahje) moved to Geelong in April 2007, having arrived in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales from Europe. The areas we had resided in had a large selection of organic produce available at an affordable price and we became accustomed to obtaining fresh, nutritious food.   
 

 

We were blessed with the discovery of being pregnant with our second child and so eating healthy food became more than a desire and passion for us; it became a necessity.  We decided it is one part of our life (and budget) we wouldn't compromise on.  We believe that nourishing our bodies as well as respecting our environment is important to remain in balance on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.  We believe that by feeding our children organic and biodynamic food, together with homegrown, chemical and pesticide free vegetables, we are providing our children with the best beginning possible and a healthy foundation on which to grow.

  
We started purchasing bulk through contacts in the organic fruit and vegetable industry and shared this with friends and family.  We were asked by friends of friends and friends of family if they could share in our venture and so we took the next step from providing a bulk organic fruit and vegetable box service to our friends and family, which has grown through word of mouth, to registering as a small, home based business.   
  
 
Working from home was the obvious choice for us as it allows us to work towards supporting ourselves whilst at the same time being available 24 hours a day to meet the needs of our growing babes.  Raising children is the hardest job we have ever had and yet the most rewarding.  We have made the decision to arrange our lifestyle so that we can stay home with our children and nurture them.  The Organics Box is allowing us to do this and live our passion for healthy eating.  We wish to share this with everyone!
 
 We set up The Organics Box to provide fresh, seasonal organic fruit and vegetables in a convenient ready packed box for your collection on a weekly basis. We started by offering a collection service, rather than delivery in order to cut down on pollution. (By walking or cycling, you are helping to reduce your carbon footprint, while those using their cars are encouraged to share collections where possible. PLUS, it´s a nice way of meeting friends and neighbours!).  We now also offer a delivery service as we realise that for some, this is the only way to obtain their Organics Box.  In addition to a ready packed box, we also offer the convenience of coming in and shopping for yourself as we realise that perhaps only a few items are required or you don't know what you would like until you see it!

We are passionate about eating organic products and feel that the benefits received not only by our body, mind and spirit, but also our environment is something we wish to share with our community. This is why our family is dedicated to providing a friendly service which will meet the requirements of you and your family.

....the next chapter....


We are moving on!  Yes, The Organics Box has been born and nurtured through it's baby years and now it is time to hand the reigns over to Mel - the new owner and passionate foodie who is going to continue to nurture this humble business into it's teens and beyond! 

We extend a HUGE thank you to all of our customers who have supported us through the cold, winter days in the old shed, right through to the Geelong moves from South to Central.  We have enjoyed many a laugh and a tear and shared recipes and jokes with you, as well as received invaluable feedback which has helped us make The Organics Box what it is today!  We will miss you all, but know that Mel will continue to provide you with nutritious and delicious, fresh organic and biodynamic local produce and dry goods, together with exceptional service.

click on the 100% Natural SoapNuts link (on the left Navigation Bar) to see what we are moving on to..... We look forward to the next time we meet you...somewhere, somehow.  Until then....we wish you wellness and abundance!  Kylie, Lars, Yahje and Charlie Bodhi.




Feedback from our community is valuable. We are always on the lookout for local growers who wish to supply their organic, organic in conversion or chemically free grown produce. If you are in a position to supply, or know someone who is, please do not hesitate to contact us.
