Box prices, weights and variety counts are from each company's own website on 20 September 2026. The Farmers Pick delivery fee is from its help centre article "How Much Is Shipping?", which says metro delivery fees start at $7.95 and orders over $175 ship free. Funky Food's website does not publish a delivery fee; its cart says free delivery starts at $140. Delivered prices are the box price plus the lowest published metro fee. Prices change, so check each website before you order.

Common questions
Which is better, Farmers Pick or Funky Food?
On box price there is almost nothing in it: they are within a dollar of each other at every size. Farmers Pick publishes its delivery fee, from $7.95 in metro areas. Funky Food does not publish one. Both pack 16 or more kinds of produce and both sell meat and pantry items. If you only want fruit and veg, compare the delivered price, not the box price.
Is there a Farmers Pick alternative in Sydney?
Yes. Ripe & Ready delivers fruit and veg boxes across Sydney every Tuesday. The boxes cost about the same, and delivery is free on every order.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Boxes are weekly or fortnightly. You can skip a week or cancel anytime from your account, with no fee.
