Multiple ways to connect with local food systems
We've designed several participation models to accommodate different needs, schedules, and levels of engagement. Each service connects you directly with regenerative farming practices, but the format and commitment vary.
NZD 68.50 per box
Receive a curated selection of seasonal produce every week. Contents are determined by current harvest availability rather than predetermined menus. Typical boxes include six to eight vegetable varieties, occasional fruit when in season, and fresh herbs.
All items come from farms within a two-hour radius that employ certified organic or regenerative practices. You'll receive information about the specific farms supplying each week's harvest, including details about their growing methods.
This service works well for households that plan meals around available ingredients rather than requiring specific items. Flexibility is essential. Some weeks bring abundance, others deliver more modest quantities depending on growing conditions.
NZD 45.00 per month
Monthly membership provides access to our rotating farmers market cooperative. Markets occur on the first Saturday of each month at designated community spaces.
Members gain early entry thirty minutes before public opening, allowing first access to limited-quantity items. You'll also receive volume discounts averaging ten to fifteen percent on most purchases, and direct contact information for producers whose products you value.
Markets feature vegetables, dairy products, bread, preserves, honey, and other locally crafted food items. Vendor selection rotates to showcase different producers throughout the year.
NZD 142.75 per month
Establish a direct relationship with a specific farm matched to your preferences and dietary needs. This premium service provides customized delivery content based on ongoing communication with your designated farmer.
You'll receive regular updates about planting schedules, harvest forecasts, and farm conditions. Some partnerships include optional farm visits where you can see production methods firsthand and meet the people growing your food.
Delivery frequency is flexible: bi-weekly or monthly depending on your needs and the farm's harvest schedule. This option suits families wanting deeper engagement beyond transactional food purchasing.
NZD 95.25 per workshop
Quarterly workshops teach practical methods for extending seasonal harvests throughout the year. Sessions cover fermentation, canning, dehydrating, and proper freezing techniques.
Each workshop includes hands-on practice. You'll leave with preserved items you created during the session plus printed materials detailing the methods demonstrated. Topics rotate seasonally to align with current harvest availability.
Spring sessions focus on asparagus, greens, and early berries. Summer covers tomatoes, stone fruit, and cucumbers. Autumn addresses root vegetables and winter squash. Winter workshops explore fermentation and indoor sprouting.
NZD 185.00 per season
Lease a prepared garden plot on shared land with established irrigation infrastructure and communal tool storage. Plots measure approximately four by eight meters, sufficient for substantial vegetable production.
Seasonal leases run six months, beginning either in spring or autumn. Soil preparation, water access, and basic tools are provided. You supply seeds or seedlings and invest the labor.
Experienced growers offer guidance through regular consultation hours. This option works for people wanting to grow their own food without managing full property gardening or making long-term land commitments.
