The Boxes

At the heart of Aarstiderne's business are the 'Boxes' of fresh organic produce delivered to households across Denmark and Sweden. Why not join the 45,000 homes that already enjoy fresh organic seasonal food brought to their doorstep? There are a range of boxes; some offer just fresh produce, others provide the ingredients and recipes for tasty healthy meals. The menu is developed by Aarstiderne's own chefs. The boxes are sold individually or you can sign up for regular deliveries. And, of course, they come in different sizes to meet the needs of every type of household.

To order a box or sign up for regular delivery, follow the links to the relevant pages of the Aarstiderne website (in Danish). Alternatively, you can call Aarstiderne and order in English on 70 26 00 66. Lines are open Mon (9 am to 4 pm) and Tues - Fri (9 am to 5 pm).
