Patea Community Fruit and Veg Stand

Jo from South Taranaki District

Today is the first day for the Patea Community fruit and vegetable stand. They are popping up all over the country as a way to share excess fresh fruit and veg within our community.

They are popping up all over the country as a way to share excess fresh fruit and veg within our community. Please spread the word - If you know anyone with fruit trees or a vegetable garden who has more than they need . Wouldn't it be great if everyone in our Community was able to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for their family?



 The stands are primarily for fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as eggs, but they can also take small donations of non-perishable foods, such as preserves or canned goods. Home baking is also accepted, but other cooked food is not.
Any one dropping off food must ensure that it is fresh and suitable to eat at the time that it is dropped off. Donated eggs and baking should be labelled with the date they were collected or baked.

Any one collecting food from the stands must make a reasonable attempt to check that they are happy with the quality of the food before they eat it. No responsibility is held by the person managing the stand or the person dropping off the food for the safety of the food once it has been collected

This food is FREE but please consider others as well.

Please join me in supporting this and helping to make it a success. The address is 27 Victoria Street, Patea.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
