Easter contents for Food Together orders
This week leading up to Easter the $12 orders are expected to contain cabbage. onions, carrots, kiwifruit, apples and pears. Add in broccoli, potatoes, silverbeet and bananas for the $20 orders. The deal of the week is 2kg of apples for $3.50. You can order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz... or remember to get your order in by midday on Tuesday.
The lucky draw winner for the re-useable, recyclable Food Together bags were Tiffany and Pauline. Both customers were able to take their orders away in their new bags last week. There will be a similar draw this week for two more of these great bags if you place an order for Easter.
Please note we will be taking a break the following week in remembrance of Anzac day (25 April) which falls on our regular Thursday order day next week. So the next orders after this week will be on May 2nd. I will send out the contents for that week over the weekend 26-28 April.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
