Learn the Art of Lacto-Fermentation
Another couple of workshops in the series running every month here in the Nelson area. We are now based in Richmond at the Craftsman Cafe in Bateups Rd - a lovely sunny venue.
* You will learn the principles of this method of preservation which will enable you to create many and varied other ferments for yourself after this workshop.
* Your 'failures' will be rare and if it happens you will know what to do about it.
* Make the most of cheap good quality raw materials at this time of year so the $ outlay is minimal.
* Help your family avoid colds and flus all year round without running to a doc for products that only suppress the symptoms
* By making and eating fermented foods you will address the cause of your ill health and become much more resilient in the future.
* In the Level 2 workshop you will learn some of the other common ferments which will extend your range of skills and improve the variety of affordable healthy foods you can make at home.
Here is all the info you need. . . .
* Contact me (Sally) directly for payment info and I will then send you a short list of what to bring to the class.
* Numbers are limited so if you're sitting on the fence you will benefit from making a quick decision.
NOTE: the Level 2 workshop is held at Broadgreen House on Nayland Rd.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
