Fresh in a Box

UWS Local Food Co-Op

As a part of the Love Food Hate Waste program UWS is trying to establish a fresh, locally sourced, quality food-coop for staff and students, particularly our residential students. Fresh in a Box brings farm fresh fruit and vegetables directly to you at your campus each week. 

How much will it cost?

Your Fresh in a Box food box will cost around $15 per week.

Payment and Ordering

To purchase your food box please pay using the iPay (opens in a new window) system. Orders must be paid for before collection. You can order as many boxes as you like - generally 1 box would feed an individual for a week. You can order once a week, once a fortnight or once a month to suit your budget and eating plans. 

What do I get in the box?

Your box will contain the following items:

  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 cobs of cornFresh in a Box fruit and veggie box
  • 3 apples 
  • head of broccoli
  • 3 carrots
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 lettuce
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 butternut pumpkin
Each box will also contain easy recipes from our UWS Community Cookbook, information on how to reduce your food waste, health and well-being facts and fun cooking tips. 

Please note that each box may vary according to seasonal availability. Boxes are static and can not be modified by the individual.
