Mumma Made Are Back!

Great news — Mumma Made are back this week with limited stock. But heads up, they're away again after this week until the 3rd week of March, so now's the time to stock up!

🌶️

Basketcase Is Back In Stock!

Basketcase is back on the shelves. If you haven't tried their Chimmi Churri sauce yet — do yourself a favour, it's delicious!

Fun fact: Basketcase started when an ex-professional chef was diagnosed coeliac and began creating their own gluten-free sauces and condiments. A Christmas gift to a friend sparked demand, and the rest is history. Small-batch, Melbourne-made, and packed with flavour.

🍎

Fruit Update

Bananas are slightly down this week. ↓ nice!

Valencia Oranges — the season has been short so supply is tight. We're shopping around each week but quality just isn't great right now. Our only other option would be US Navels, but that's not what we do!

Red Hill Pears are on the price list! Sizes vary so they're sold per 1kg bag at $4.30ea — great value, super local, and fresh! 🍐

🥦

Veggie Update

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Continental Cucumbers are up this week. ↑

Pantry & Local Favourites

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

🥩 Meat Update — Structure Taking Shape

No progress this week, just waiting on the Butcher to get back to us, we might adjust the below packs.

We've moved beyond the "idea phase" and have now mapped out what a potential Jointly meat offering could look like — structured into practical, freezer-friendly bundles.

The current thinking is:

📦 Steak Box – 6kg
Rump, Porterhouse, Scotch & Eye

📦 BBQ Low & Slow Box – 6kg
Brisket, Ribs & Sausages

📦 Sunday Roast Box – 6kg
Blade, Topside & Silverside

📦 Winter Warmer Box – 6kg
Chuck, Diced Beef, Osso & Ribs

📦 Family Mince Box – 5kg

📦 Sausage Box – 5kg

📦 Freezer Builder – 20kg
A balanced mix of steak, roast, mince, chuck, brisket, sausage & ribs

How It Will Work

The key part of this model is that we would be purchasing and processing an entire animal at a time.

That means:

• We need to sell the whole beast before ordering

• Every cut must be accounted for

• No waste, no over-ordering

This aligns with our values — whole-animal utilisation, ethical sourcing, and making sure nothing is wasted.

We're currently finalising pricing and processing costs with the butcher to ensure it stacks up properly for everyone.

We're also very open to ideas and feedback. Is there a box you'd choose? Would you tweak anything?

We'll be seeking expressions of interest soon once pricing is confirmed.

Thanks for your patience — we're building this carefully and intentionally.

NEW Skip a week - go to 'My Account' (top right), then 'my box' and click the blue 'skip a week' button - IT WILL SKIP ALL WEEKS UP UNTIL THE DATE YOU PUT INTO THE CALENDER, it will restart on that date - don't put the info in too early though, or you won't get a box from entering the info until that date!

Our Vision (Why Jointly Exists)

At Jointly, our vision is simple: to make fresh, healthy, affordable, and sustainable food the easy choice for families — 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 — it's central to health.

🚜 How We're Fulfilling This Vision (Together)

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

• Community Hubs – 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 – we actively compare against major supermarkets to stay competitive without squeezing farmers.

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

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

• Nourish – 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 — week after week.

How Jointly Works: Fresh Produce Through Community Hubs

Jointly makes it easy to access fresh, local produce while building community. Families, clubs, and not-for-profits come together in Hubs to order in bulk, reduce waste, and save money.

How it works:

1. Join a Hub – Find one near you at jointly.shop.

2. Place Your Order – Choose from seasonal produce or a value-packed Mystery Box.

3. Bulk Buying Benefits – Shared orders = zero waste and wholesale prices.

4. Pick Up – Collect your box every Friday from your Hub.

5. Stay Connected – Easy chat and "skip a week" options keep it flexible.

6. Support Local & Save – Produce is sourced from Melbourne Market and local farmers, often within 24 hours of harvest.

Starting a Hub is easy! Jointly takes care of the ordering, communication, packing, and delivery. All you need is an undercover area (garage, carport, home, community centre, church, etc.). By hosting, you'll help your community save money, eat healthy, reduce waste, recycle, build connections, and give back locally.

Current Hubs: Mt Martha, Bittern, Somerville, Rye (starting 10th Oct), South Frankston & Harkaway.

Interested in starting a Hub? Email hello@jointly.shop or call Peter on 0447 253 420.

Fresh, local, affordable produce — with community at the heart. 🌱
