Procurement

Over the years at Yarra Valley Farms, we have created very tight relationships with our farmers and agents. We take pride in these strong relationships which have been formed via reliability and consistency on both sides coupled with consistent payments to our suppliers with short terms. We believe that by being excellent paymasters and being loyal customers we also get the best from our suppliers.

All our suppliers are HACCP certified and know that we expect the best in quality for all our produce. We do not hold produce for very long at all and purchase more frequently than most in order to help keep our product as fresh as possible.

We have at least three preferred suppliers for each product which is no secret to any of our suppliers. This ensures that we always receive the best quality produce at the best price, as well as allowing us to supply consistently throughout the year whilst each product faces its own individual peaks and troughs in price and quality. This also helps us in tracking the origin of produce to help rectify any quality issues.

Packing

Our packing processes have a high level of software and process entrenched within to ensure accurate and efficient fulfillment of orders. Each order is packed for each customer highlighting each individual chef's requirements on product such as size, ripeness, etc... Coupled with an allocated packing order for each customer within each delivery run, this ensures that customers receive delivery at their required times.

Deliveries

Yarra Valley Farms' localised owner-operated strategy allows us to efficiently deliver to each and every customer six days a week. This is because each franchisee operates in their territory every day. There isn't a high cost in delivering produce every day if you are already in that area.

Furthermore, localised runs give Yarra Valley Farms the ability to be more flexible with delivery times which allows us to get the produce to your chefs when they need it instead of when it suits us.

Localised runs support the high level of service that you can receive without the high price. It's simple, no noise at no added cost.
