The PICKERS - Thank You
๐ THANK YOU, LANCE! ๐
A huge thank you to Lance for donating beautiful golden and white peaches! These have been lovingly processed into jams and preserves, now making their way to grateful recipients. ๐
If anyone is available to process more peaches, Lance has another batch ready to go! ๐ If you can collect them from us, process them on the same day, and then gift the preserves back into the community, we'd love your help. You can call Kayleen - 027 647 5000.
Letโs keep the generosity flowing! ๐ฟโจ

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 itโs approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
