Have you heard about Perfectly Imperfect cheap fruit and veges?
Hiya, first - Perfectly Imperfect is a non profit which gleans or receives fruit and veg which supermarkets don't accept- too small, too big, too weird.
www.facebook.com...
or there's an interview on RNZ and an article in the NZ Herald if you want
to research it
They sell these mystery boxes of fruit and veg (a decent amount) for $26 a box which can be delivered for around $10 weekly. I'd guess the amount in the box would be $60 to $80 worth at a supermarket
For every 4 boxes sold a family who can't afford it gets a free one.
Anyway follow the link above for the details, the thing is they were doing a pop up on Friday afternoons at Gribblehurst Community Hub outside but its grown too much so they're looking for a space in our area maybe 4 days a week to set up a wee shop, cheap or free. Does anyone know of such a thing?
If you do, you can message me or contact them directly through the Facebook page above, thanks everybody!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
