ADAMAH BioKistl

What's in the box: A seasonal mix of organic, mostly regional vegetables and fruit delivered loose, with optional extras such as bread, dairy, eggs, cheese and pantry goods.

ADAMAH BioHof is an organic farm business in Austria that sells the BioKistl, a box of organic vegetables and fruit, alongside a wider online shop. You can choose from several boxes: a mixed vegetable and fruit box, a cheaper Bestpreis version of the same box, a vegetable only box, and a larger Basis Wocheneinkauf box meant to cover a basic weekly shop. You can also add bread and pastries, eggs and dairy, cheese, cured meats, meat and fish, pantry staples and drinks, so the service can work as a broader grocery delivery and not just a produce box. ADAMAH says everything in the box is organic and that some produce may be crooked or oddly shaped. That suits shoppers who care more about where food comes from than how it looks. Fruit and vegetables arrive unpackaged, and where packaging is needed the company says it prefers reusable, recyclable or compostable materials. It also says it focuses on regional produce, delivers carbon neutral and never puts air freighted goods in the box. The site's main pages do not say which areas it delivers to, so check that your address is covered before you sign up. Listed prices do not include deposit and delivery fees, so expect to pay more than the box price alone. There is also a recipe section and a separate cooking box for anyone unsure what to do with seasonal vegetables.
