Three Simple Steps

Fresh Food, Made Simple 🌱

Getting farm-fresh produce to your table has never been easier. Our streamlined process ensures maximum freshness with minimum effort on your part. Here is exactly how it works from start to finish.

1
Step One

Choose Your Perfect Box

Selecting the right box for your household is the first and most enjoyable step. We offer several categories tailored to different needs and tastes, each one filled with produce harvested at peak ripeness from farms across Ireland.

Our Seasonal Veg Box changes with the calendar, bringing you whatever is freshest and most flavourful at that moment. In spring, expect tender asparagus and early peas from Wexford growers. Summer brings vibrant courgettes, tomatoes from poly tunnels in Cork, and bunches of fresh herbs. Autumn delivers hearty root vegetables, squashes, and kale, while winter focuses on robust brassicas, leeks, and the finest floury potatoes Ireland has to offer. You can also choose from our Fruit Harvest Box, Family Mixed Box, Artisan Pantry Box, Salad Greens Box, Root Veg Box, or our Dairy and Eggs Box.

Every box can be customised to suit your preferences. Have an allergy or a vegetable you simply cannot stand? Use our swap feature to replace up to two items per delivery on the Starter plan, or enjoy unlimited swaps on our Family and Premium plans. Set dietary preferences in your account, and our system will remember them for every future delivery.

Step Two

Pick Your Schedule

Flexibility sits at the heart of how we operate. After choosing your box, you decide exactly when and how often you want deliveries. We understand that every household has a different rhythm, so we offer multiple scheduling options to match yours.

Weekly deliveries are the most popular choice among families, ensuring a constant supply of fresh vegetables and fruits throughout the week. Fortnightly deliveries suit couples or individuals who supplement their box with occasional supermarket trips. Monthly deliveries work well for people who enjoy artisan and pantry items that store longer. Whichever frequency you choose, you remain completely in control. Your online dashboard lets you skip a week when you are travelling, pause your subscription during holidays, or switch delivery days with a couple of clicks.

We deliver six days a week, Monday through Saturday, with morning slots between 7am and 12pm and afternoon slots between 1pm and 5pm. Premium plan members can request specific one-hour windows to suit their routine. There are absolutely no long-term contracts. Subscribe for a week, a month, or a year. The choice is always yours, and cancellation takes effect immediately with no fees or questions asked.

Step Three

We Deliver Farm-Fresh

This is where the magic happens. On the morning before your delivery, our team visits partner farms to collect the freshest harvests. Vegetables are pulled from the ground, fruits are picked from the branch, and eggs are gathered from the coop, all within hours of landing on your doorstep.

Everything is transported in temperature-controlled vehicles to our packing facility at Smithfield Market in Dublin 7. There, our quality team inspects every item, packs your personalised box according to your preferences and swaps, and loads it onto our fleet of refrigerated delivery vans. We use compostable packaging throughout: cardboard boxes lined with plant-based insulation, cornstarch produce bags, and paper tape. Not a shred of single-use plastic touches your food.

Our drivers follow optimised routes to reach you during your chosen delivery window. You will receive a text notification when your box is 30 minutes away and another when it arrives at your door. If you are not home, we can leave it in a safe place you designate in your account, such as a porch, side gate, or with a neighbour. Every box includes recipe cards featuring seasonal dishes created by Irish food writers, plus storage tips to help each item last as long as possible and reduce waste.

Behind the Scenes

A Day in the Life of Your Box 📦

From the moment a seed sprouts in the soil to the moment you unpack your delivery, here is the journey your food takes. This timeline follows a typical Tuesday delivery to give you a real sense of how tight our supply chain runs.

4:30am

Monday

Farmers Begin Harvesting

Our partner farmers start their day before sunrise. Root vegetables are pulled from the soil, salad greens are cut, and fruits are handpicked. Each farm follows specific quality guidelines set in partnership with Tilamora to ensure only the best produce makes it into your box.

8:00am

Monday

Collection Runs Begin

Our refrigerated collection vehicles set off on pre-planned routes to gather produce from farms across multiple counties. Cold chain integrity is maintained from the moment produce leaves the farm. Every batch is tagged with the farm name, harvest time, and variety for complete traceability.

12:00pm

Monday

Arrival at Smithfield

All produce arrives at our Smithfield Market hub in Dublin 7. Our quality control team inspects every delivery, checking for freshness, size, and condition. Items that do not meet our standards are donated to local food charities rather than going to waste. Approved produce moves into our cold storage facility.

2:00pm

Monday

Your Box Is Packed

Each box is assembled by hand according to your personal preferences, dietary requirements, and any swap requests. Items are arranged carefully in compostable packaging with plant-based insulation to maintain freshness during transit. A personalised recipe card and storage guide are placed on top before the box is sealed.

5:00am

Tuesday

Delivery Vans Depart

Before dawn on delivery day, our fleet of refrigerated vans loads up and sets off on optimised routes calculated to reach every customer during their chosen time window. You receive your first text notification confirming your box is on its way and an estimated arrival time.

7-12pm

Tuesday

Fresh at Your Door 🎉

Your box arrives fresh and chilled at your doorstep. A second text confirms delivery. Open your box to find vibrant, soil-dusted vegetables, ripe fruits, and perhaps a pot of local honey or a round of farmhouse cheese. Everything you need for a week of delicious, nutritious meals grown right here in Ireland.

Inside Every Box

More Than Just Produce 🎁

Every Tilamora delivery includes thoughtful extras that make the experience richer and help you get the most out of your fresh ingredients. Here is what you can expect when you open your box.

Fresh Seasonal Produce

The core of every box is a selection of fresh, seasonal produce harvested within 24 hours. Items vary weekly depending on what is at its peak across our partner farms. Expect vibrant colours, earthy aromas, and flavours that remind you what real food tastes like. We prioritise organic and spray-free growing methods wherever possible.

Seasonal Recipe Cards

Each delivery includes beautifully designed recipe cards created by Irish food writers and chefs. Recipes are designed around the exact contents of your box that week, so there is no guesswork about what to cook. From quick weeknight suppers to leisurely weekend dishes, every card includes preparation times, serving sizes, and nutritional highlights.

Storage Guide

A handy printed guide tells you exactly how to store each item for maximum freshness and longevity. Learn which vegetables prefer the fridge, which are happier at room temperature, and which should be kept apart from each other. These simple tips help reduce food waste and ensure your produce stays in excellent condition throughout the week.

Farm Stories

We include a brief profile of one or two farms featured in your box that week. Learn about the families behind your food, their farming philosophy, and how they grow the specific items you are about to enjoy. These stories build a genuine connection between your kitchen and the land where your meals begin.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Your box arrives in a sturdy cardboard container lined with plant-based insulation made from recycled denim. Individual items are wrapped in cornstarch bags that dissolve in your home compost bin within 90 days. Even the tape is paper-based. The entire package can go into your brown bin or compost heap without any sorting required.

Occasional Surprises

From time to time, we include a bonus item in your box at no extra charge. It might be a jar of wild garlic pesto, a sample of new-season honey, or a bunch of wildflowers from one of our farms. These little extras are our way of saying thank you for supporting Irish agriculture and for choosing to eat locally and seasonally.

Our Promise

The Tilamora Quality Guarantee ✅

We stand behind every item in every box. Our quality promise covers freshness, sourcing, packaging, and customer satisfaction. If something does not meet your expectations, we make it right immediately.

24-Hour Freshness

Every item in your box was harvested within 24 hours of delivery. We do not hold stock in warehouses or buy from wholesale markets. If the weather or season means a particular item is not available fresh enough to meet our standard, we replace it with something equally delicious rather than compromise on freshness.

100% Irish Sourced

Every piece of produce, every egg, every artisan product in your box comes from a verified Irish farm or producer. We do not import to fill gaps. Our commitment to local sourcing supports Irish farmers directly, reduces food miles to a fraction of supermarket supply chains, and keeps money circulating in rural Irish communities.

Satisfaction or Replacement

If any item arrives damaged, wilted, or below the quality you expect, simply let us know through your account or by emailing our support team. We will either replace the item in your next delivery or credit the value back to your account. No photographs needed, no complicated returns process. We trust our customers.

Certified Standards

Tilamora is Bord Bia Quality Assured and works exclusively with farms that hold organic certification from the Organic Trust or equivalent bodies. Our packing facility is FSAI-inspected and fully HACCP compliant. We undergo regular independent audits to ensure our processes meet the highest food safety standards in Ireland.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

We have compiled answers to the questions our customers ask most often. If your question is not covered here, our team is always happy to help via phone or email.

We deliver across all 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. Major cities including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford have daily delivery options. Other areas receive deliveries two to three times per week. When you create your account, simply enter your Eircode and our system will show you the available delivery days and time slots for your exact location.

Absolutely. Every plan allows some degree of customisation. Starter plan subscribers can swap up to two items per delivery. Family and Premium subscribers enjoy unlimited swaps and full customisation. You can set permanent preferences in your account, such as excluding certain items you dislike or flagging allergies. Changes to your upcoming box can be made until 6pm the day before your scheduled delivery.

You can pause, skip individual deliveries, or cancel your subscription at any time through your online account. There are no cancellation fees, no minimum commitment periods, and no penalties. If you pause, your subscription settings and preferences are saved so you can reactivate with a single click whenever you are ready. We do ask that any changes are made at least 48 hours before your next scheduled delivery to avoid food waste.

No problem at all. In your account, you can set a safe place for deliveries, such as a porch, side gate, garage, or with a neighbour. Our drivers will leave your insulated box in the designated spot and send you a text confirmation with a photo. The plant-based insulation keeps everything chilled for up to four hours after delivery, so there is no rush to bring it inside immediately. If you have specific instructions, you can add delivery notes that our drivers will see on their route.

The majority of our produce comes from certified organic farms. We work with farms certified by the Organic Trust, the Irish Organic Association, and equivalent EU-recognised bodies. Some of our smaller partner farms follow organic practices but have not yet completed the formal certification process, which can take several years. We clearly label each item in your box so you always know which farm it came from and whether it holds organic certification. Our priority is always freshness, quality, and sustainable growing methods.

Every component of our packaging is compostable or recyclable. The outer cardboard box can be flattened and placed in your recycling bin, or reused around the home. The plant-based insulation liner goes into your brown compost bin, as do the cornstarch produce bags, which break down within 90 days. The paper tape is recyclable. We have designed the entire packaging system so that nothing needs to go into general waste. If you prefer, you can also leave your empty box out for our driver on your next delivery and we will take it back for reuse.

Yes, Tilamora boxes make wonderful gifts. You can purchase a one-off gift box or a gift subscription of 4, 8, or 12 weeks. During checkout, simply enter the recipient's delivery address and add a personalised message card. Gift recipients can customise their box contents and manage their own delivery preferences. Gift subscriptions are a thoughtful present for housewarmings, birthdays, new parents, or anyone who appreciates fresh, locally grown food.
