Frequently Asked Questions

Eatlocal is your go-to service for fresh, Tag 1, top-grade, locally-sourced fruit and vegetable box deliveries in the South Island. We're passionate about produce and our local artisan food products, and getting it all delivered right to your door as quickly as possible. 

Not all produce is created equal!  The produce industry uses grades, or tags, to denote the quality of an item, with Tag 1 being the highest. This tag is assigned to products that meet the highest standards in terms of freshness, appearance, and overall quality. These products are free from defects and exhibit superior characteristics such as size, colour, and texture.

Our fresh, seasonal produce is proudly sourced from trusted local growers in New Zealand.  Our amazing artisan food producers, many of whom are small businesses just like us, can be found tucked away in all corners of the country.  By supporting Eatlocal, you're  also enabling many other valuable Kiwi businesses to flourish.
