The freshest thing in town: Foodbox brings chef-quality pproduce into kiwi kitchens

Foodbox, one of the original food delivery services, is back and offering a fresh perspective on the way Kiwis shop.

A leading provider of seasonal produce and artisan products to NZ’s top restaurants is revamping and relaunching one of the original home delivery services.

Foodbox sources its ingredients from local farmers and growers and curates seasonal farmers’ market style collections of the freshest ingredients, produce and meats available. It is being relaunched by The Produce Company, which has been supplying top-quality ingredients to some of New Zealand’s leading chefs for over 30 years.

General Manager of Foodbox, Shane Don, says the Produce Company wants Kiwis at home to have access to the same ingredients that restaurants are supplied with, and is excited to be bringing locally sourced goodness straight into Kiwi kitchens.

“We believe wherever there’s a kitchen, there’s a chef waiting to be inspired,” says Don.

The team at Foodbox mainly sources locally produced products so they know where the food comes from - bringing the best of Farmers’ Markets directly to customers’ doors.

“We are the link between field and plate - this is like ‘Farmers Market in a Box’.

“Our ingredients are sourced fresh and delivered whole – generally not pre-portioned which makes us unique from some of the other meal kit deliveries in the market.

“At Foodbox we make it simple and there are no contracts to worry about, so Kiwis can enjoy seasonal creativity with chef-quality ingredients without the commitment of a long-term contract,” says Don.

Partnering for good, the Foodbox whānau is ever-growing with local suppliers and food artisans such as Curious Croppers, as well as some talented chefs, all joining to bring homegrown quality ingredients to Kiwi homes.

Digital chef sensation ‘Andy Cooks’ is just one the many iconic names who are part of the Foodbox family, sharing their love of food and their favourite recipes so every Kiwi can channel their inner Masterchef.

NZ-born Andy Hearnden, who has amassed 1 billion views on YouTube and 4.3 million followers on TikTok, will be making exclusive recipes and his signature videos for Foodbox. He is a globally renowned chef who creates inspiring flavoursome home-cooked recipes alongside his ‘Babe’ partner Katelyn.

Customers can purchase Boxes that are fully customisable or buy individual products from the Marketplace to suit everybody’s tastes and budget, all available for delivery in Auckland.

With their commitment to sourcing locally grown food and reducing their carbon footprint, the team is working on expanding to all of New Zealand.
