Local Supplier Spotlight

We have so much local talent on our shelves. Not as cheap as mass-manufactured products, but you get what you pay for โ€” and you're supporting people who genuinely care about what they make.

๐Ÿ

Eddie's Cider โ€” Sparkling Apple Juice

Made from 100% organic apples at Red Hill, Victoria. Available in both low carb and standard โ€” refreshing, local, and perfect paired with a cheese board. A true paddock-to-bottle story right here on the Peninsula.

๐Ÿฅ

Mother Mary Bakes

A one-woman micro bakery at Oakwood Farm on the Mornington Peninsula. Mother Mary uses the highest quality ingredients โ€” opting for organic and local produce wherever possible โ€” in her sourdough breads, handmade pastries, granola and homemade cakes.

๐Ÿฅœ

Peninsula Nut Co

Fresh nuts, chocolates, seeds, wholefoods and home of the famous Humpercrunch muesli. Based in Mount Martha and family-run since 2004, originally starting at Gippsland markets. Their Dark Choc Almonds are dangerously good โ€” available through your Hub each week.

โ˜•

Prodigal Coffee Roasters

Small-batch specialty coffee roasted right here on the Mornington Peninsula. Whether you're an espresso purist or a filter fan, Prodigal roast with care and consistency. They also have a cafรฉ โ€” well worth a visit if you're passing through.

Meat Update โ€” We're Moving Forward!

Great news โ€” we met with the Butcher on Monday and we're officially moving forward together! They're quality butchers right here on the Mornington Peninsula, and we're really excited about this partnership.

Next steps are formalising the supply agreements between the farm, abattoir and butcher. The Butcher's advice is that the biggest hurdle will be selling the entire animal with beef, so Lamb might be a great place to start.

We're putting both options out there โ€” beef and lamb โ€” but we'd prefer to start with one and do it properly before expanding into the other. We're currently weighing up which to launch first.

We'd love your feedback! Would you prefer we start with lamb, beef, or are you keen for both? Let us know via WhatsApp โ€” your input will help shape what we offer first.

Hopefully next week, provided we can get all the ducks in a row, we'll have some formalised pack options to share with you.

This is high quality meat, so price-wise we anticipate sitting somewhere between supermarket and butcher pricing โ€” great value for the quality you'll be getting.

Watch this space โ€” more detail coming soon! ๐Ÿฅฉ

Refer a Friend, Everyone Eats Well

Know someone who'd love fresh, local produce delivered to their Hub? Here's how it works:

๐ŸŒฟ Your friend gets โ€” A free loaf of Bakery Lievito artisan bread & a dozen Somerville Egg Farm free range eggs in their first box
๐ŸŒฟ You get โ€” A free loaf of Bakery Lievito artisan bread & a dozen Somerville Egg Farm free range eggs in your next box
๐ŸŒฟ A family in need gets โ€” A $15 Nourish gift of fresh produce

Three wins from one referral โ€” your friend eats fresh, you get rewarded, and a local family is supported. That's what community looks like. ๐Ÿ’š

We've set aside 20 referral packs to kick this off โ€” once they're gone, they're gone. So if you've been meaning to tell a friend about Jointly, now's a great time.

Just share your Hub link or tell your friend to mention your name when they sign up at jointly.shop

Jointly Nourish Update

It's exciting to see more families choosing fresh fruit and veggies โ€” healthy really is catching on, and that's great news for everyone involved.

If you know of anyone in your Hub community who's doing it tough or could use a hand, please let us know. We're always happy to have part of our 5% giving allocation directed locally through you.

Thanks to your continued support, we were able to share $318 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local organisations doing amazing work โ€” including $75 donated directly by our Jointly community. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Here's where the produce went this week:

โ€ข Mornington Peninsula Community Centre got most of giving this week.
โ€ข St Andrews Anglican Church received a portion to give away also.
โ€ข A family in Harkaway needed some help through The Hills Co-op (one of our hubs).

Each box is more than just food โ€” it's a reminder that our community is stronger when we look after one another.

Thank you for making Nourish possible ๐Ÿ’›

Our Vision (Why Jointly Exists)


At Jointly, our vision is simple:
to make
fresh, healthy, affordable, and sustainable food the easy choice for families โ€” while supporting local growers, strengthening community connection, and caring for those doing it tough.


Week after week, many of you tell us:
"The produce tastes better."
"It lasts longer."
"My kids are choosing fruit again."


That's not by chance. Fresher food can contain up to 70% more essential vitamins and minerals than produce that's travelled long distances and sat for days or weeks. Freshness isn't a nice extra โ€” it's central to health.




๐Ÿšœ How We're Fulfilling This Vision (Together)


  • Freshness first โ€“ produce is picked and delivered within ~48 hours where possible, straight from local farms and the Melbourne Market to your Hub.


  • Community Hubs โ€“ one delivery per Hub means fewer food kilometres, less waste, and the ability to deliver produce the same day we collect it. Individual home deliveries simply can't achieve this.


  • Fair pricing โ€“ we actively compare against major supermarkets to stay competitive without squeezing farmers.


  • Local-first sourcing โ€“ Mornington Peninsula farms and small producers are prioritised whenever available.


  • Low waste, low packaging โ€“ reused boxes and minimal packaging, using plastics only when they genuinely extend shelf life.


  • Nourish โ€“ through Jointly Nourish, that same fresh, healthy food is shared with local families doing it tough, because access to good food shouldn't depend on circumstance.


This system only works because of you.
By choosing to shop through your Hub, you're helping build something that's
fresher, fairer, and deeply connected โ€” week after week.
