Dear Riverside Milk Family,

I regret to inform you that our good old Brunimat Vending Machine has had some serious electronic issues and will be out of action until we can procure the needed replacement motherboard from Brunimat in Switzerland.

I have contacted Mr Alfred Bruni about this today and urged him to make all possible haste with sending us the required part as we have so many loyal customers relying on his fantastic machine to supply them daily with pure fresh farm milk. We hope they will courier and airfreight the part as quickly as possible and, with luck, be back up and running again in 10 days' time. This would then be Monday 27th November.

I sincerely hope you can forgive us for this inconvenience and the probable necessity to consume pasteurised milk over the next two weeks, as I don’t think there is any other raw milk available on this side of Christchurch.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your past and continued support enabling us to continue operating to supply you with real unadulterated milk here at the top of the South.

We will confirm our reopening data as soon as possible.

Aroha Nui,
Tristan

Saturday, 26th August, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Riverside in Lower Moutere.

We're thrilled to host another children's pretzel-making workshop, designed for those 8 years and up.

In this workshop, kids will be introduced to a unique technique of baking a soft, golden-brown pretzel, differing from regular bread through its boiling-baking process. Beyond baking, this workshop will enhance their creativity, fine motor skills, and patience, and ensure a joyful experience culminating in a delicious self-made pretzel.

Note: This workshop incorporates standard white flour and butter, unsuitable for gluten and dairy-intolerant individuals. It also involves boiling water; hence children below 8 require adult supervision.
