Bliss Box (formerly Ooooby NZ)

What's in the box: A typical box holds seasonal organic fruit and vegetables, and you can add dairy, meat, bread and pantry staples.

Bliss Box is the newer name of Ooooby, a long-running New Zealand organic delivery service. It is based in Rosedale, Auckland, and delivers fresh organic produce and artisan goods to homes in Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga, Taranaki, Wellington and other urban North Island areas. You can order ready-made boxes, and you can also choose items one by one from produce, dairy, meat, bakery, pantry and bulk food ranges. That makes it work as a full grocery run as well as a weekly veggie box. The service puts a lot of weight on nutrition, organic growing and buying from named farmers and artisans. The site has pages on farming methods and food terms, so you can check what the labels mean. The brand also says it delivers produce rather than packaging, which points to an effort to cut waste, though the site does not say exactly how this works. Prices, box sizes and delivery fees are not listed upfront, so you will need to browse or sign up to compare costs. South Island shoppers are out of luck, and rural North Island coverage is unclear. For organic-minded households inside the delivery zones, it is a flexible option with a solid track record.
