Having trouble getting groceries? One NSW Grocery Chain has responded to the 24-hour trading announcement by taking a massive load off it’s 26 retail stores.
Harris Farm Markets launched Harris Farm Express – a service offering 1 Box of groceries with no choice, providing enough food and pantry essentials to feed a family for 5 days, with no choice.
The contents of the box change daily depending on availability & seasonality and is an effective way for the retailer to manage inventory during peak demand.
Incredibly, the grocery chain promises overnight doorstep delivery to comply with the necessary government restrictions around the virus & social distancing.
One of the first customers was Josh Kennedy, co-captain of the Sydney Swans who was delighted with the range and quality of the produce and the speedy service that allowed him to avoid the long queues at Coles & Woolies.
“The box is absolutely fantastic. It’s got the proteins, bacon, even an Eye Fillet and packed full of vegies and fruit. The quality looks better than I’ve found in my local supermarket and it took a few minutes to order, a week’s food for $250 is reasonable but for the quality, the amount of food you get, it’s absolutely fantastic” said Kennedy, as he practiced social isolation in his house in Rose Bay with his young family.
Each box contains a selection of the best fruit, veggies, protein and staples for 15 nourishing meals. Brekkie, lunch and dinner are provided for 5 days or more depending on each family’s particular nutritional requirements.
Procuring groceries this way can save hours in shopping and queuing given the current strain faced by the major chains and avoids the need to venture outside during Stage 2 of the Government’s shutdown restrictions.
Harris Farm have a box packed full of stuff, no limits so you can easily & quickly pick up enough to feed your family.
“There was a mix of products, all top quality you expect from Harris Farm”
While everyone else’s sites have crashed, Harris Farm Express took my order and had it delivered.
We didn’t want to stockpile food, but we do need enough to get through the week. With kids home from school this was a real life saver.
Lining up with the crowds at stores is not an option for us, and there’s no product anyway.
I have 2 kids off school too, which just makes matters worse.
Harris Farm saved me time that I don’t have to spend.
No doomsday pricing here, all the regular prices from pre-crisis.
Why Josh Kennedy loves Harris Farm Express for grocery reliability during the lockdown:
- Delivering when others are not: “this social distancing is real, and food in-stores is limited. Harris Farm were the only ones that actually took my order online”
- Healthy produce & the quality you’d expect from Harris Farm
- Delivered quickly: delivered within a day
- Food for 5 days: 1 box has more than enough to feed a family of 4 for 5 days
- Fair dinkum pricing: excellent value at $250
- Variety: protein, fruit, veggies and other tasty selections, that keep my family healthy
Thank you Harris Farm for coming to the needs of Australian’s in these troubled times. Keep the food coming and stay safe!
