Poll: Do you have an oversupply of citrus?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

When Jasmin Sampson wandered down to her local community house in Hillcrest with a bag of fruit, she had no idea it would snowball into a harvest measured by the hundreds of kilos.

After spotting Go Eco’s food rescue ad for homeowners with excess produce, she signed up — and before long volunteers were in her backyard hauling out crates of grapefruit, lemons, oranges and mandarins. All up? More than 240kg of citrus.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
