Swap your fresh produce

Sarah from Taradale

Hi neighbours,

Have you joined the Magic Beans Hawke's Bay facebook group? If you grow your own food and sometimes have an excess, why not trade with your neighbours for other produce you don't have?

Magic Beans is about growing community primarily through the swapping of homegrown food and items that help with the production of homegrown food (eg horse/cow/sheep manure, pots and planters, compost, garden stakes, jars for preserving, egg cartons).

So jump on facebook and get involved today (don't let that tree full of citrus go to waste while you spend your hard earned $$$ on produce you might be able to get for free - and meet a greenthumbed neighbour while you're at it!).

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
