First Edition Ooooby T's
Ooooby Market Stall
WE WILL BUY FOOD FROM YOUR GARDEN !
Ooooby Stall sells fruit & veg lovingly grown in local neighbourhood gardens.
With avid gardeners being the main contributors, the quality of produce is typically higher than most yet the prices are still good.
The first Stall is at the Grey Lynn Farmers Market, Auckland, each Sunday. (expt last of the month)
Bring any produce you can from your garden and we'll do a deal.
Not from around Auckland? Why not start an Ooooby Stall in your area? More info...
