Thank you for using Neighbourly

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

As always, the Acacia Social Committee has outdone itself! They put together a marvellous function for Valentine’s Day. It was kicked off with drinks, followed by a cold cut buffet. We were serenaded by the amazing Jim Joll!

It was a lovely sight seeing so many people get together, put on their dancing shoes and got their boogie on. We even had our Village Manager, Bruce Cullington, partake in the dancing, which always results in a roar of laughter and giggles. All in all everyone had a wonderful time and we can’t wait for the next social event!
