Freshly harvested locally and organically grown produce available
Would you like to receive a box of freshly harvested, organically grown produce every week? Keen to be a supporter of locally grown, sustainable food?
Great news! We have just a couple of spaces left for our Spring II CSA subscription (29/10-20/12). Get in touch to find out how to sign up for a Tuesday or Friday weekly pickup or fortnightly harvest and salad box. We also have greens or salad boxes available. 🥒🌱🥦🥕
Our CSA (short for Community Supported Agriculture), is just one of the ways we share our produce with our community, but it's the main way of ensuring that our garden supports paid work for our skilled farmers. In A CSA scheme, locals pay a subscription fee for the season and receive a weekly share of the harvest.
We love the CSA scheme because it enables farmers to have some income security to move with the seasons, and frees us up to focus on growing sustainably and investing in our soils, rather than living week-to-week. As a CSA subscriber, you do so much more than just purchase vegetables - you invest in the future of a local community-led project that builds growing skills, food resilience, and regenerates soil and ecosystems.
Subscriptions are now $25 per week for the harvest and salad box, $15 for greens or $10 for salad. Our Spring II harvest and salad boxes included a weekly 1.5-2.5 kg of produce - including fresh herbs, cooking greens, carrots, beets, pumpkins, leeks, spring onions, fennel, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, salad mix (with microgreens), citrus and more! You can expect much more for spring as the longer days and warmer weather settles in.
Email us at tamakiurbanmarketgarden@gmail.com to sign up! Payment is either in advance or by weekly automatic payment
If you are a community group that has a use for fresh local produce you are also welcome to get in touch about our donation channels 💚
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
