Freshly harvested locally and organically grown produce available

Monique Pot from Tamaki Urban Market Garden

Would you like to receive a box of freshly harvested, organically grown produce every week? Keen to be a supporter of locally grown, sustainable food?

Great news! We have just a couple of spaces left for our Spring II CSA subscription (29/10-20/12). Get in touch to find out how to sign up for a Tuesday or Friday weekly pickup or fortnightly harvest and salad box. We also have greens or salad boxes available. 🥒🌱🥦🥕

Our CSA (short for Community Supported Agriculture), is just one of the ways we share our produce with our community, but it's the main way of ensuring that our garden supports paid work for our skilled farmers. In A CSA scheme, locals pay a subscription fee for the season and receive a weekly share of the harvest.

We love the CSA scheme because it enables farmers to have some income security to move with the seasons, and frees us up to focus on growing sustainably and investing in our soils, rather than living week-to-week. As a CSA subscriber, you do so much more than just purchase vegetables - you invest in the future of a local community-led project that builds growing skills, food resilience, and regenerates soil and ecosystems.

Subscriptions are now $25 per week for the harvest and salad box, $15 for greens or $10 for salad. Our Spring II harvest and salad boxes included a weekly 1.5-2.5 kg of produce - including fresh herbs, cooking greens, carrots, beets, pumpkins, leeks, spring onions, fennel, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, salad mix (with microgreens), citrus and more! You can expect much more for spring as the longer days and warmer weather settles in.

Email us at tamakiurbanmarketgarden@gmail.com to sign up! Payment is either in advance or by weekly automatic payment

If you are a community group that has a use for fresh local produce you are also welcome to get in touch about our donation channels 💚

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
