Tired of supermarket vegetables that have spent more time in a shipping container than in the soil? Our Mystery Veg Box is the antidote. We don’t decide what goes in the box—the farm does.
Every week, we walk the fields and select 7 to 9 varieties of vegetables that are at their absolute peak of flavor and nutrition. From earth-covered root vegetables to crisp, vibrant greens, this box is a true reflection of the Gort Fia garden at this exact moment in time.
Why go "Mystery"?
Maximum Freshness: Most items are harvested within 24 hours of you receiving them.
Eat with the Seasons: Naturally boost your health by eating what your body needs at the right time of year.
Discover New Flavours: You might find heritage varieties or seasonal treats (like wild garlic or purple sprouting broccoli) that never make it to the big shops.
Support Zero Waste: By letting us choose the mix, you help us ensure nothing grown on the farm goes to waste.
The Gort Fia Guarantee: Every box contains a balanced mix of "staples" (like potatoes, onions, or carrots) and "stars" (seasonal specialties) to ensure you can cook full, hearty meals all week.
What might be inside?
While the contents change every week, a typical box includes:
The Roots: A generous portion of our farm-grown potatoes and seasonal root crops.
The Greens: Seasonal brassicas, spinach, or fresh salad leaves.
The Seasonal Surprise: Whatever is popping up right now—could be rhubarb, scallions, fresh herbs, or beetroot.
How it Works:
One-Off Purchase: Perfect for a seasonal kitchen refresh.
Weekly/Fortnightly Subscription: Never run out of the good stuff. Save 10% when you subscribe to a regular harvest.
Collection: Pick up directly from the farm to keep those food miles at zero.
