Read more…Here's a spot to expand on these themes, based on What's New for You in the Manawatu: 1) With spring coming on, what new fruit/vegie/herb are you planning to grow, this year? 2) What new distribution opportunity, large or small, are you planning? E.g. a Palmy Farmers' Market stall, taking your excess produce to give out at work, starting a CSA, etc. 3) What new info do you have to share? E.g., a particularly good gardening, cooking, or foodie book you've read, an informative film…
Read more…Hi, let's start a discussion here about setting up an ooooby booth for sale at the new Palmerston North Farmers Market, to start in Nov just off the Square. Is anyone with produce, game?

Community Supported Agriculture - a quick note to say that CSA Wellington now serves Palmerston North as well. A subscription based farm in the Wairarapa that produces and provides weekly allotments of organic fruit and veg. If you're an 'aspirational Ooooby guru' but still getting to grips with your own food production, this is about as good as it gets for bought food. we use it to top up what we get from our small vege patch and chickens.
