Kecipir

Closed.The website no longer loads.

What's in the box: When it operated, orders typically held seasonal vegetables and fruit sourced from small farms around Jakarta.

Kecipir is not operating right now. Its website no longer loads, so you cannot place an order. When it was running, Kecipir was an Indonesian online grocery service that connected shoppers in the Jakarta area with small local farmers. It sold fresh vegetables, fruit and other produce for home delivery. The idea was simple: a shorter supply chain, produce from growers near the city, and a focus on organic or low chemical farming where farmers could offer it. Shoppers could usually pick individual items or ready made produce packages instead of a fixed box. That made it feel more like an online farmers market than a classic subscription. With the site down, nothing about its pricing, delivery areas or order terms can be confirmed, and any old account balances or credits probably can't be used. If you want regular deliveries of fresh Indonesian produce, look for a service that is taking and delivering orders today. Kecipir is still a good example of the farmer direct model in Indonesia, but you can't order from it. Before you pay in advance for any alternative, check that it responds to messages and actually delivers to your area.
