This section lists some options which offer shopping online in various categories. It also contains a feature article on the local milkman delivery service from Aussie Farmers Direct - which now delivers much more than just milk and bread, with fruit, vegetables and meat pack available. Find out more below.
The original milk service was forced into premature retirement in the
1980s when new government regulations allowed supermarkets to
undercut prices. As a result some years later, a milk industry veteran joined
forces with two young Aussie entrepreneurs to co-found Aussie Farmers
Direct (AFD) in 2005.
With humble beginnings in Melbourne's South East, Aussie Farmers Direct
began delivering the basic supermarket staples and has in the years since
evolved to offer a large farm fresh product range - all locally sourced from
Australian farmers.
Aussie Famers Direct now delivers to homes in Sydney,
Melbourne and Brisbane through their network of local Milkmen.
Aussie Farmers Direct set out to help the Australian farmer win the
battle against the corporate giants by delivering a broad range of
products direct to the consumer. A major flow on effect is helping the
Australian economy and stopping multinationals controlling the market place
and livelihood of Australian farmers.
By cutting out the middle man,
products are delivered straight to your door fresher and faster each
morning with free delivery - just like the good old days.
Aussie Farmers range of fresh goods include - milk, bread, tortillas, eggs,
bacon, cheese, cream, coffee, juice, water, fruit and vegetables and meat.
In the Hills district, products are delivered to residents doors twice weekly,
before 7am, ensuring freshness. Prices are very competitive and the quality
of produce is unsurpassed.
Delivery areas in the local community include Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Bella Vista, Glenhaven, Crestwood,
Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook, West Pennant Hills, Rouse Hill, Kellyville, Beaumont Hills, Stanhope Gardens, Kellyville Ridge,
Parklea, Quakers
Hill, Dural, Thornleigh and Westleigh.
Why is purchasing 100% Australian goods so important?
Supporting products through Aussie Farmers Direct that are 100%
Australian, is important because in the long run it strengthens our economy
and it makes sure that we are supporting our Australian farmers instead of
international companies.
How does Aussie Farmers Direct save you money?
Aussie Farmers Direct makes it easier to save money.
How often have you
gone to the supermarket for Milk and Bread only and walked away with $40 or
$50 of groceries that you didn't really want?
Fewer trips to the supermarket
means to more dollars in your pocket and less fuel consumption!
How do Aussie Farmer Direct guarantee freshness?
Our produce is as fresh as it gets!
The main reason is that we have closed
the gap between our customers and the 'farmgate'.
Products are not sitting
around on display shelves, but delivered in a refrigerated van with good old
fashion personalised service.
Your local Aussie Farmers Milkmen are continuously supporting local
community groups and schools through Aussie Farmers Direct's Healthy
Eating Schools Fundraising program.
This program enables customers to
fundraise for their community groups/schools and child care centres as Aussie
Farmers direct will donate $10 per customer every 6 months on their behalf
to promote a healthy lifestyle and diet.
Aussie Farmers Direct's milk and
bread deliveries are made overnight
and placed into cooler bags left out on
the doorstep, whilst meat, fruit and
vegetables are delivered in the
afternoons.
Special Offer: The first 100 callers will receive $10 off their first order. Please mention My Local Guide when calling.
Bringing the Milkman back has
never been so important.
Customer Testimonials
Local Baulkham Hills mum Laurainne Marshall loves her local
Milkman’s deliveries:
‘Being a full time working mum with young kids, I need to make
buying food for the family easy and healthy. I love the fact that our
food gets delivered straight to our front door. Our fruit and veggie box is
so fresh and full of goodness for the family, I can shop online and have
our fresh fruit and veggies waiting on the door when I get home from
work’, said Laurainne.
Laurainne added,
‘I am extremely happy with the quality and
service from Aussie Farmers - I am so proud to be supporting the
Australian farmers by buying their produce’.
Customer for more than 12 months, Nicola Mace from Rouse Hill, is
thrilled with the quality of the produce from Aussie Farmers Direct.
‘The fruit and vegetables are wonderfully fresh and the seasonable
items are exceptional, providing variety and I look forward to the recipe
hints I receive in my weekly newsletter. We love waking up to our
morning delivery of our bread, milk, cheese and juice’, Nicola said.
Nicola commented,
‘I am particularly grateful to my milkman for
the time and money I save as a customer of Aussie Farmers Direct. I’ve
been sick and tired of running around at the supermarkets to only find
their produce limp and lifeless.The waste of throwing out spoiled food
after only a couple of days that I paid good money for frustrates me no
end. Thank you Aussie Farmers!’
