WA Fresh is shutting down ;_;

Does anyone know of other good places delivering custom fruit and veg in Perth? Most places seem to just do boxes of whatever's in season, which is no good to me with all my intolerances.

What I found today:
Fruit n Vegies R Us Limited range

The Good Grocer A supermarket, which tends to mean lower quality.

Also Aussie Fruit and Veg look like they could be good for anyone south of the river (which I am not).

I could also just order from Coles/Woolworths but that tends to be very poor quality.

I was talking to Emily about it and she said she didn't know of any competitors that offered the same thing to the same quality :( And yeah I don't like the seasonal boxes either, even with less intolerances, there's still a lot I can't eat or don't like

Atm it's looking like Woolworths which is a very poor option indeed. I'm googling now and found: The People's Market which looks like larger amounts but the range seems okay, home delivery is $14 and I'm not sure what times they deliver.

Tbh...I'm going through that one a bit more thoroughly and it doesn't look...like the worst thing ever? But just, sigh, sigh because WA Fresh made things really nice and easy for the last few years. I really hope someone else slots into the niche. *hugs* It sucks

Exceeeeept that it looks like one of the charities this place supports is a pro-life pregnancy house so I'm *lying down on the floor for a very long time*

I have used Fresco https://www.frescoproduce.com.au/ which are very good and very fresh and all W.A. They require you to order a box for delivery.

I have also used The People's Market http://www.thepeoplesmarketperth.com.au/ which are also very good and have a bigger variety, no box required, will deliver a wider range of products as well as f&v.

Fresco are definitely not all WA (they don't deliver to Ellenbrook), but Maylands would be covered!

I like the look of the produce at the People's Market, but the fact that one of their primary charities is a pro-life/anti-abortion (feeding propaganda to vulnerable young women in particular) house really disturbs me. :/ But I'm just not able to like, separate the fact that some of my money will go somewhere like that, I wish I could, because it seems like the only decent option now that WA Fresh is gone.

I was meaning the produce, not the delivery areas.


Yes that is disturbing about The People's Market! I had no idea.
