Arrived fresh in this morning, Corriander, Asparagus and New Zealand Strawberries.
We still have New Season Ilam Hardy potatoes in store.
With the school holidays just around the corner we will be running another kids colouring competition. 5 winners will be picked. Keep an eye out for new pictures to get at the store or ask one of our friendly staff.
Here is some tips about Asparagus you might find useful.
If this news motivates you to rush out and buy some asparagus, here are some tips to make your experience even better:
1. Choose firm, crisp spears that don’t look dry or droopy. Fresh asparagus is squeaky when the stalks rub together.
2. Thin stems tend to be more tender but thick spears have a longer shelf life.
3. You can store asparagus in a jar with a little water (2cm) at the bottom, a bit like flowers. Or wrap them in a plastic bag and store in the fridge.
4. Asparagus can be eaten raw, fried, chargrilled, steamed, microwaved or baked.
5. Apart from baking, most cooking methods for asparagus will take just a few minutes.
Building job
I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
