FAQS & Home Delivery

We deliver all of Melbourne to your home or office - super fresh produce, organic food & grocery.

So, you can go ahead and order with confidence, knowing we can get your order to you. If you live in the metro area your delivery charge is $7.99. For those that are in the further away category like the Mornington Peninsula, The Dandenongs, Sunbury and a few other places like that (generally if you are more than 20km from the CBD) we just ask that your minimum order is $120.00. Great deal huh :) 

How often do I need to order?

You can order as little or as often as you like.  

Can I get the same order each week?

Yes! Just tick the Recurring Order box when you get to Your Cart and you won’t even need to order each week.  Once in place we deliver that same order to you each week until further notice.  Plus you can make your own selections when you want to as well.

How can I be sure the goods are really organic?

ORGANIC ORIGINS purchase all produce from the Certified Organic Wholefood Wholesalers at the Melbourne Markets, their suppliers are all Certified Organic Farmers. ALL our produce are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or GMOs and is Certified Organic. The grocery products we get are also Certified Organic, which is stated on the packaging. Any product that we offer that is not Certified Organic will be described as only Organic, but note that we only use any products that are only Organic if we are very confident in their procedures. On the whole though, the site offers almost 100% Certified Organic goods.

What products are available to buy?

ORGANIC ORIGINS provide a comprehensive product list that includes most of what you can purchase at an organic supermarket only you can order it anywhere, don’t have to go get it and lug it home... Just have it delivered! The current range includes a large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, if it’s available we’ll have it!

Are your fresh foods local?

We make a real effort to only purchase whole food with the minimum number of food miles. Most of the produce is grown by local farmers in Victoria. There are of course some produce that we can only access from afar, like kiwifruit is occasionally only available from NZ growers. Or bananas and mangoes from Queensland!

How can I find out what’s in season?

We have listed everything in season on our Seasonal Chart under Organic Living.  Buying in season produce is a great way to be environmentally friendly and to takes advantage of the absolute freshest produce. Some of us even believe this is a healthier more natural approach for our bodies as our diets have undergone such tremendous change over the past 100 years or so.
