Everything you need to know about the latest fruit fly discovery
Hey neighbours,
Ōtara is in a fruit and vegetable lockdown after a facialis fruit fly was found.
It's the first time this particular fruit fly - which is native to Tonga - has been found in New Zealand, and it could be devastating to crops.
How has the fruit fly discovery affected you? Are you worried about purchasing local fruit and veges from the area? Will you still go to the Ōtara markets this weekend?

Had a great time making a website for Savante Design
Hey Team, it's Jack.
Just finished making a website for Savante Design which is an interior design agency run by the talented Penny Morton.
It was fun doing the design work which was much different than my previous clients; mainly because Penny is well versed in design so she had a lot of input to help aid the visual appeal of the site.
Sneak peek on the next site I'm working on: they grow and sell microgreens and edible plants...
