Patea Community Fruit and Veg Stand
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. 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.
