We've just started our son on baby led weaning, and thought it's a good reason for us to all start eating organic fruit and vegetables.

I'd ideally like to buy it from a shop so I can choose what I like, but would be open to getting one of those boxes delivered it is significantly cheaper.

I googled "organic vegetable delivery in Brisbane" (or something similiar) and there were loads of suppliers.

Can anybody recommend a shop or a delivery service that they've had a good experience with?

I'm in Toowong, but work in the outer western suburbs so can travel.

:) Thanks in advance.

Oooh how exciting! Did he like it, what was his first food?
I go to Wray Organics (http://www.wrayorganic.com.au/) at Newmarket but I don't think they deliver. I'd love to hear some reviews on some delivery places...

I just went to their site - there's one in Indro so I might check that out.

What are the prices like? (like how much more in percentage terms than normal).

I was hoping to start getting organic legumes and grains (etc) as well.

His first food was a banana. He was pretty non-plussed. He just played with the high chair and slapped the banana a couple of times. He was a bit more receptive to some watermelon today.

:yelclap: Arlo!
Can't tell you exact info on the price sorry, I never pay attention. I only go there for a few specific things like prunes without preservatives etc that are impossible to find anywhere else, so price isn't an issue.
If I could find a good delivery service though I'd like to get a lot more organic stuff.

I know it's not much help to you now but macro wholefoods (http://www.macrowholefoods.com.au/home.html) is THE BEST shop ever! Unfortunately they haven't got a store in Brisbane, but I have written to them suggesting it! One day :fingerscrossed:
Their store in Sydney is the size of a supermarket with about 10 different kinds of everything! *sigh* I miss it so.
