🌱 A Fresh Start for 2026

A new year is a great chance to reset habits, eat well, and support local.
We’re excited for what 2026 holds — more value, more convenience, and more ways to make fresh food easier for families.

Thanks, as always, for being part of the Jointly community 💚

🌱 A Word on Growth

As we head into 2026, we’re really looking forward to a year of growth and consolidation.

Our goal is to reach 165 weekly orders by June–July 2026 — this is the number that allows Jointly to operate as a sustainable, long-term business, supporting growers, hubs, and the wider community.

If you’re someone who prays — we’d really appreciate your prayers for this.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

💚 Thank You

As always, thanks for supporting local growers, makers, and this community.

We’ll keep doing our best to bring you great quality, fair pricing, and transparency every step of the way.

Meat supply:

🥩 Why Provenir? (Our Values Match)

As part of our upcoming meat trial, we’re exploring working with Provenir, an Australian producer focused on ethical, transparent meat production.

Provenir’s approach prioritises:

• On-farm processing to reduce animal stress and unnecessary transport
• 100% grass-fed Victorian beef
• Full traceability from paddock to pack
• High animal welfare standards
• Vacuum-sealed, food-safe packaging suitable for careful handling and distribution

This aligns strongly with our values around transparency, ethics, and respect for the food system, which is why we’re exploring Provenir for a small trial.

We’ll share more details about the meat packs next week.

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!

💚 Jointly Nourish Update

It’s exciting to see more families choosing fresh fruit and veggies — 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 $270 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local organisations doing amazing work — including $105 donated directly by our Jointly community. 🙌

Here’s where the produce went this week:

• SUFM Beach Mission - Supporting families and kids at McCrae (Morn Pen Support & CCI were closed for Christmas/New Year)

  
  

Each box is more than just food — it’s a reminder that our community is stronger when we look after one another.

Thank you for making Nourish possible 💛
