What makes Farmhouse Direct so different from other online food delivery services?
Farmhouse Direct eliminates the middleman. When you buy something on Farmhouse Direct you are actually purchasing directly from the Farmer/Producer. Just like a physical farmers’ market, the farmer sets up their stall and sets their product prices, you purchase directly from the farmer, your money goes directly to the farmer and then the farmer packages and posts your products direct to you. Keep in mind that you will receive a package from each farmer you order from and that could be from anywhere in Australia.
Why have I only received part of my order?
Just like a physical farmers’ market, when you shop at Farmhouse Direct you’re buying directly from each producer, the person directly involved with growing and making the goods. Therefore, when you place an order with more than one producer on Farmhouse Direct, you will receive a package in the post from each producer accordingly.
How can I get in touch with a producer?
Contacting a producer is easy - Each product page has a ‘Contact Producer’ button on the top right. Simply click on the button, write your message and send. You can check your responses by clicking on the ‘My Profile’ button in the top right corner of the page and accessing the ‘My Messages’ tab.

Can I modify my order after I have checked-out?
Once your order has been placed and paid for, we are unable to add further items to it, even if it has not yet shipped. If you would like to add more items to your basket after check out it will be as a new order.
How do I return an item from my order?
All returns are handled directly between you and the producer. In the first instance, you should check the producer’s stall page on Farmhouse Direct to see if they have published a stall policy. The producer’s email address is provided on your order confirmation email.

This may be due to the producer’s location, your location or your state’s unique quarantine laws. Australia has a complex set of quarantine laws which dictate where produce can be sent from and to. Also, due to the nature of some perishable products they are not suitable to ship under different conditions. All of our producers ship to you at a time when their product is at peak freshness to ensure this you might find that they only send their products at particular times of the week. Please take a note of their “Stall Policy” and “Delivery & Order Info” box on product pages to check any restrictions.
