Learn the Art of Lacto-Fermentation

Sally from The Brook

Another couple of workshops in the series running every month here in the Nelson area. We are now based in Richmond at the Craftsman Cafe in Bateups Rd - a lovely sunny venue.

* You will learn the principles of this method of preservation which will enable you to create many and varied other ferments for yourself after this workshop.
* Your 'failures' will be rare and if it happens you will know what to do about it.
* Make the most of cheap good quality raw materials at this time of year so the $ outlay is minimal.
* Help your family avoid colds and flus all year round without running to a doc for products that only suppress the symptoms
* By making and eating fermented foods you will address the cause of your ill health and become much more resilient in the future.
* In the Level 2 workshop you will learn some of the other common ferments which will extend your range of skills and improve the variety of affordable healthy foods you can make at home.

Here is all the info you need. . . .
* Contact me (Sally) directly for payment info and I will then send you a short list of what to bring to the class.
* Numbers are limited so if you're sitting on the fence you will benefit from making a quick decision.

NOTE: the Level 2 workshop is held at Broadgreen House on Nayland Rd.

NZ Post and Rachel Boyack

Tony from Tahunanui

I see our MP, Labour’s Rachel Boyack, is shedding crocodile tears over the NZ Post closures announced today for Nelson. Perhaps Rachel has ‘forgotten’ it was Labour that corporatised NZ Post, intentionally turning it from a service organisation into one focused solely on profit. Her cries would be a little more credible if she could promise Labour would reopen the closed offices or, even better, reverse that Labour-directed profit-only change.
Come on Rachel, what is Labour’s real position - public service or money?

N8tidy - Same garden. Massive transformation

Fred from N8tidy - Neat by Nature. Tidy by Trade

Big garden transformation completed 🌿✨

We recently finished a garden clean-up with some seriously visible results — the kind of change that reminds us why we do what we do.

See walk-in video below (before/after): youtu.be...

At N8tidy, we are fully commited whatever the challenge you have:
👉 showing up on time
👉 working hard
👉 delivering quality results
👉 keeping prices fair and accessible

We genuinely want our Nelson/Tasman community to enjoy tidy, well-cared-for homes and gardens without it costing the earth. Affordable doesn’t mean cutting corners — it means caring about the people we work for.

Thanks to everyone supporting local 🙏

If you’ve got a garden that needs a reset, you know where to find us.
If you have a house that needs regular cleanup or one-off, we will exceeed your expectations.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
