Freshly Picked Locally Grown Food! - Delivery Now Available
We still have a few spaces left for our Summer CSA subscription (details below) and are now offering delivery to Glen Innes, Glendowie, St Heliers and St Johns areas for an additional $5 per delivery on Tuesdays or Fridays.
Kia ora koutou
Yay for the rain today, you can almost see the garden flourish 🌱
Would you like to have freshly harvested "spray free, locally grown, organic* veggies"?
Did you know that produce that is not locally grown is typically 3-4 days old before it even gets to the supermarket? We typically harvest our veggies in the morning of your chosen pickup day which means it will be on your table later that same day. The time it takes for big agriculture to go from harvest to purchase impacts on the nutritional value and makes it less fresh and also speaks to unknown food miles, plus you won't know what 'sprays' have been used.
By purchasing a subscription with us you can take the guesswork out of all of those things and simply know where your food comes from and what it contains 💚. Your subscription also supports our gifting program of excess produce to Everybody Eats, Glen Innes Kindergarten and other people in need, which is an added bonus of your support.
Our Summer CSA subscription runs until the 28th March with weekly or fortnightly subscriptions available for either of the following options. Pick up days are Tuesday or Fridays from 10am.
1. Harvest box with small salad - $25
2. Greens - $15
3. Large salad - $10
If you would like to support us in other ways, you could become a "friend' of the garden. (any donation over $5 is eligible for a tax refund). We also have volunteer spaces available. We are a small friendly team and always pleased to welcome new people to our community.
