Poll: How are you feeling about the Waikato economy?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

As 2025 reaches its halfway mark, Waikato is in an “enviable position” because of a steady resurgence of its rural economy.

While much of New Zealand grapples with slowing consumer spending, cautious hiring, and global uncertainty, Waikato has its agricultural strength.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
