Ordered a big order so that I had it in time for Christmas - they didn’t bring the veggie and fruit box. The lady on the phone - oh so do you want a refund? 😬 ah no I’d like the produce in reality. So now 8 months pregnant I have to run and pick up everything last minute on Christmas eve. You charge top dollar prices - you need to do better.

(They burst as you bite in!), hamburgers, honey soy chicken drumsticks, meatballs...the Dairy Pack, cultured… butter, eggs, Schultz milk - EVERYTHING! It all inspires you to cook and try and experiment.You cannot go wrong. AND everything is fresh, organic, healthy, good for you and mindful. The packaging is so thoughtful, the service and delivery wonderful and prices/specials amazing! Love the free shipping too! If they made ready-made dinners I'd have them all the time!

LOVED 😍 my delivery from HAGAN’S ORGANICS! I ordered enough meat for 2-3 weeks and had it delivered. It arrived with sustainable packaging and it was exactly as ordered. I’m impressed.

Super impressed already and haven’t even tasted the produce! Simple ordering and delivery process. Text message when goods are arriving and then just high quality beautiful food when unpacking!
I’m in regional… Vic and usually food deliveries arrive damaged and in poor condition - not this time! Still fresh, moisture on the veges and meat coolers still frozen.
