Why choose Bockety Box

Fresh fruit and veg delivered to your door
Bockety Box brings you real, seasonal fruit and vegetables through a simple home delivery subscription. We specialise in rescuing delicious but odd-shaped, oversized or surplus produce that supermarkets reject. Instead of letting good food go to waste, we deliver it straight to your home at an affordable price.
If you want sustainable food choices, support Irish growers and enjoy convenient fruit and veg home delivery each week, you’re in the right place.
1. Perfectly imperfect veg is just as nutritious
Supermarkets reject fruit and veg based on looks. Bent, bumpy or slightly uneven produce often never reaches the shelf, even though it’s:
-
Fresh
-
Safe
-
Full of nutrients
-
Packed with flavour
-
Grown with the same care and effort as the “perfect” stuff
We rescue this good produce and deliver it directly to your kitchen. Real food grown in Irish soil, not grown for perfect photos.
2. Support Irish growers
Bockety Box partners with local farmers and growers across Ireland. When bumper harvests happen or when crops don’t meet cosmetic standards, growers can lose income. We step in and buy the produce that would otherwise go to waste.
Choosing a Bockety Box supports:
-
Local family farms
-
Fairer, more consistent returns for growers
-
A shorter, more sustainable supply chain
-
Food grown close to home
3. Reduce food waste without changing your routine
Food waste is a major issue in Ireland. Perfectly edible produce often never leaves the farm. By choosing a rescued fruit and veg subscription box, you help reduce:
-
Waste in landfill
-
Unnecessary transport emissions
-
Water and energy wasted in crop production
-
The environmental cost of unused harvests
Every box makes a measurable difference.
4. Seasonal fruit and vegetables delivered weekly
Unlike supermarkets that rely on international supply chains, your Bockety Box is based on what’s being harvested now. That means:
-
Fresher produce
-
Better flavour
-
Naturally varied weekly boxes
-
Cooking inspiration that changes with the seasons
You’ll discover ingredients you wouldn’t usually pick up at the supermarket, with recipes and tips to help you use everything.
5. Affordable fruit and veg home delivery
Your subscription includes:
-
Medium or large box sizes
-
Fruit and veg, veg-only or fruit-only options
-
Weekly or fortnightly delivery
-
Two swaps each week
-
Included delivery
-
Optional add-ons like eggs and seasonal pantry extras
We keep it simple, clear and flexible. No hidden fees. No confusing plans.

-

Why supermarkets reject good food
Most rejections come down to:
-
Appearance
-
Size mismatches
-
Colour variations
-
Too much supply
-
Shape quirks
-
Orders cancelled before shipping
None of these affect nutrition or taste. It’s good food that deserves a good home. We make sure it gets one.

Better value

Less waste
-

How often will I receive my box?
You can choose weekly or fortnightly delivery.
Do I need to be home?
No. Your box can be left in a safe place and includes tracking.
