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.

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm
Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Said yes too much? Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list .... And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!
Here’s one tip that can help move your attention for a moment’s break from all that over-thinking and relentless planning.
Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting, or find a pause during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.
Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.
