Vege only orders start this week!

Kathriona Benvie from

This week the $10 Gold and $15 Value orders will have the same contents-pumpkin, potatoes, broccoli, apples, oranges and kiwifruit. The Value will have more volume. Similarly for the $26.50 Gourmet and $36.50 Whanau Fiesta-contents are pumpkin, potatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, beans, onions, kale, apples, oranges, kiwifruit and bananas but the Whanau boxes will have more volume. The new $15 vegetable only order will have pumpkin, broccoli, potatoes, mushrooms, beans, onions and kale. We are excited to be able to offer this as a number of customers have asked for this over the last few years

The deal of the week is 5 small avocado for $2.

The website has had some issues this week but hopefully they will be resolved shortly. Please ensure you order by noon this Tuesday to ensure your order will be available at Thursday pick up.

There will be a further 3 lucky draws for Food Together bags this week. Last week's winners were Brigid, Odine and Ruth who all got their bags last Thursday.

Saturday 7 May Food Together Awapuni will have a stall at the St Matthews Plant and Fun Fair (8.30am-12.30). We will have all size orders on display and we will do a lucky draw at the end of the fair for each order to be given away. So if you have friends or family who are curious about us send them along to say Hi and enter in the draw to win one of these different sized orders. The Fair itself is a great event with lots of plants for sale plus other stalls and fun activities for children.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

💬 Our question to you: Do we sometimes overlook plants when investing in conservation?
Have you spotted this weed in your area, or noticed other local efforts to protect our native flora?
