Comment by Katie McGregor on November 11, 2012 at 10:01pm: Thanks for your reply to my query the other day Pete. Are there any volunteer opportunities and opportunities to earn Roobys through Ooooby projects? I am currently reading fleeing vesuvious which details local economies as the way forward - came across the Rooby shortly after! EXCITING! Cheers, Katie

Comment by Katie McGregor on November 8, 2012 at 4:05pm: Hey Ooooby crew. I am just establishing my garden in my new home. If I have extras, how can I add it to the ooooby mix? It would not end up being enough for more than a few boxes worth of one or 2 types of produce. Do you deal with offerings of such a small size or just larger producers?

Cheers, Katie

Comment by Earl Mardle on February 4, 2010 at 8:58am: Looks like I should turn up ere after bombarding Pete with emails and stuff about what Ooooby needs to do and be. (Or in the words of frank Sinatra, Dobedobedooooby)

I live in Glen Innes and we need a local market here. There is an attempt to have one at the Netball courts on a Sunday morning but it is so disconnected from the shopping centre that nobody goes and very few stallholder bother to turn up.

I'd suggest an Ooooby stall but I don't think it would get any business there. On the other hand, if we could get something started at the railway station carpark, we might get somewhere.

Does anyone know someone in Kiwirail that we could get on board?

Comment by David Mailangi on January 20, 2010 at 8:24pm: Hey Oooby Crew, we been out of the loop for awhile but raring to go for new year.
Hope all have had a good holiday, we look forward to growing beautiful food and relationships. 2010 will ROCK!!!

LuvLuv,
