What NZ schools and clubs say about us

We chose So Sweet for our fundraiser because it’s locally grown and an amazing product that our families already use, not something they have to buy just to support the fundraiser. Every year the vegetables are so fresh and last really well. I’ve been working with So Sweet for several years now, and it’s always a pleasure. Everything is well communicated, quick, and there have never been any issues with orders. Great product, great value, and great returns for our group.

We chose So Sweet because it’s a healthy option that aligns with our team values around making good choices. The profit margin is one of the best we’ve seen, which really helps support our marchers. We’ve run this fundraiser on and off for six years and have never had a single complaint about the vegetables. The So Sweet team is fantastic to work with, always prompt and easy to communicate with. As busy working parents, we really appreciate how flexible they are with timelines and how smooth the collection and drop-offs are. I still remember one year when we had two Phoenix teams fundraising. The boxes were lined up along the entrance of my business and the girls joked they were building a veggie box fort. It’s a fundraiser that always leaves everyone smiling.
