Huh?

Our organic vegetables by subscription or individual order

Where do the vegetables come from?

All vegetables come from regional organic and Demeter farms in the Zurich region and neighboring cantons. We only save from farms that are less than 50km from Zurich city center. In this way, we reduce the CO2 footprint of us consumers, strengthen the local economy and guarantee our customers fresh produce. We now work with a network of around 10 farmers who regularly let us know when they have fresh vegetables that are not allowed on the supermarket shelves. The farmers are overjoyed when we help them to make the delicious vegetables available for human consumption and pay a fair price.

Are fruits also saved?

We don't save fruit at Good Market. Why? We have found that many of them are often overripe and therefore ideal for processing into high quality juices. Moreover, there is too high a risk that the overripe fruits will already start to rot and thus end up as food waste at your customers. In addition, there is a risk that they will damage the remaining vegetables or soak the packaging.

Can I choose vegetable varieties?

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to adapt the seasonal vegetable boxes to specific requests. If you receive vegetables that you are not familiar with, let our creative recipe ideas inspire you. In winter, it is also possible that similar winter vegetables (carrots, potatoes, root vegetables, etc.) are regularly traded in the Good Market due to the season. You can use the keyword search to find suitable recipe suggestions so that you can still cook a healthy recipe based on the same vegetables every week. If you don't like a particular vegetable, give it to your neighbors/friends or find a recipe that will give the vegetable a new taste and help you learn to love it. Our motto is: Be intuitive and have fun cooking with rescued vegetables in all their shapes and colors.

How much weight do the individual rescue boxes have?

  • The "Mini" is between 2-3kg
  • The "fair" is between 5-6kg
  • The "Good" is between 7kg-8kg

Why the buffer on the weight? Because depending on what abnormally delicious organic vegetables get's rescued, it is more expensive vegetables. For example, feather cabbage or nut lettuce, they cost about twice as much as leeks or celery, but still wants to be saved. Thus, there is a little less of it and the weight of the box of rescues varies accordingly from week to week.

Why aren't saved organic vegetables much cheaper than in the supermarket?

Fair payment for our farmers is our top priority. We know our partners personally and want to offer our customers the advantage of being able to buy directly from the producers and do something good for the environment at the same time. Please note that we only offer organic vegetables from the Zurich region and may therefore be more expensive than organic products from other regions. However, by sourcing regionally, we are helping to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, our 'Fair' and 'Good' savior boxes can often be cheaper than buying from a large supermarket chain if you skip the delivery. If you have any questions about pricing, please do not hesitate to contact us.

How can I give a box as a gift?

You have the option of taking out a new subscription and having the box delivered directly to a rescuer of your choice. To do this, simply enter the relevant delivery address in a new customer account. She can then manage her vegetable subscription herself.

Shipping and collection

When can I pick up my vegetables?

From Friday noon. Pickup is available according to your pickup-station's pickup time, but we recommend picking up as early as possible. The earlier, the fresher the vegetables.

Is there a pick-up station for the Retterbox near me? Unfortunately, the Centrale Végétale is too far away for me.

We are working on finding more pick-up stations for our Retterboxes to make it more convenient for all customers. If you have a suggestion for a pick-up station near you, please let us know - we'd love to hear your feedback!

How does my Retterbox get to me?

We work together with the Züriwerk social foundation so that your rescue box is delivered or deposited by the courier.

Can I return my box?

We are fighting food waste and therefore cannot take back the Retterbox. We ask for your understanding. Instead, we offer a freshness guarantee: if you are unhappy with your products, send us a photo and we will refund the purchase price if the quality is not acceptable.

How can I change my delivery address?

In order to provide our customers with maximum service for the design of their subscription, we have set up a subscription management system in the respective customer account at www.goodmarket.ch. Here you can easily make changes yourself under "Delivery address" and adjust your delivery address. It is important to note that changes made up to and including Tuesday 23:59 of a calendar week will take effect for the delivery of the current week.
