Upper Hutt Fruit & Vege Co-op
Have you heard about the Upper Hutt Fruit & Vege Co-op? You pay $12 and the money is pooled together and bulk fruit and veges are purchased at wholesale prices, so you cut out the middle man and save $. Generally get around 8kg of seasonal fruit and vegetables for your $12. Great bargains compared to Supermarket prices. Check out the attached image to see how much this week's pack was worth at supermarket prices ($20-$29!)
Anyone can join, and the more people that join, the better the co-ops buying power. Sign up here: orongomai.wufoo.com...

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!
