About Us
While this is a new and exciting business for the Canberra region, we have over 14 years experience in the delivery industry. We have always valued providing a superior service and product. We have a very strong customer service focus and always do our best to exceed expectations. We guarantee you will be delighted with this service.
Our youngest son Ryan (now 6) is the inspiration behind Vegies To Your Door. Ryan has PKU, a genetic
disorder that means he is unable to metabolise protein properly. He is perfect in every way (says mum) but he is unable to eat a high percentage of the regular foods that you and I take for granted, including meat, dairy and wheat products to name a few. The amount of protein that he eats needs to be weighed and measured every day. The
basis of Ryan's diet is fresh fruit and vegetables and it was our search to find the freshest quality available so that he could truly enjoy them that eventually lead us to start Vegies To Your Door. You can listen to my
radio interview about how we began our business and Ryan's PKU by clicking here. Our search for the freshest fruit and vegies for Ryan, now means your family can enjoy them too.
More information about PKU can be found at www.pkunsw.org.au or www.mdda-australia.org.
Our eldest son Jordan (8), who is also perfect, likes fruit and
vegies a little more now that Dad brings them home in his cool van :-) In fact both my boys often ask me if we can have vegies for dinner - you can imagine how that makes me smile.
About Our Business
Since we buy direct from the wholesale markets, our produce is very fresh (fresher than the supermarkets, fresher than the four day weekend markets) and of the best quality. It is superior to produce purchased at many greengrocers and supermarkets because:- our produce is not left in cool rooms for up to a week or more before being put on the shelves for sale;
- our produce does not sit out on shop shelves (at room temp) for a day or two waiting for you to buy it;
- it is not constantly handled by the public while it sits on the shelf waiting for you to buy it; and
- it lasts longer because it is fresher and is therefore better value for your money
The wholesale markets in Canberra also supply our regions restaurants. As you can imagine this creates a demand for very fresh, high quality produce. Therefore their truck travels to the Sydney fruit and vegetable markets every day to provide the restaurants with the freshest produce available to them. You too, now have access to this same very fresh, high quality produce.
We personally guarantee the freshness of our fruit and vegetables and if you are not satisfied with an item we will gladly replace that item on your next order free of charge, or refund your credit card for the amount. Please contact us in the unlikely event that you are not completely satisfied and we will work with you to resolve any problem with your order.
We value your feedback and suggestions about any aspect of our business (including the service level, whether or not you think the website meets your needs, the produce etc). Please do not hesitate to contact us with your comments at feedback@vegiestoyourdoor.com.au
We are currently adding more and more products to our website and are making an effort to source these locally in order to promote and support other quality local family businesses. Our bread is baked fresh every day at National Capital Bakery in Kingston, our coffee is locally roasted and ground at the Fresh Roast Coffee House in Mitchell - with more local products to come.
We hope that you will enjoy shopping with us and that you will return week after week. It's convenient, it's friendly, it's fresh and it's very very healthy.
