Louise Beuvink from Beautification Trust

Join us at the Foodtogether Pop-Up Manurewa every Thursday from 24th August to 28th September, and fill a bag with delicious, "ugly" fruit and vegetables for only $15. Our produce may be a little wonky, too big, or too small, but they're perfectly tasty and ready to be enjoyed.

By coming to the Foodtogether Pop-Up, you're not just getting a bargain; you're helping to reduce food waste and supporting a more sustainable lifestyle by making sure nothing goes to waste. Besides, ugly is the new tasty!

Dates: Every Thursday, 24th August – 28th September
Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm (or until sold out)
Location: Beautification Trust - 38 Holmes Road, Manurewa
Cost: $15 per bag

Pilot Programme: Initially this will run for 6 weeks; if the pilot programme is popular with the community, we will aim to make it a long-term offering.
