We have an abundance of salad leaves at present! Would you like a box for $5 ready for your Christmas gatherings?
Locally and organically grown they include a mix or leaves, edible flowers and herbs.
The price helps pay for the farmer who nurtures the plants and maintains the project with special thanks to Zealandia for some donations of plants and our fabulous volunteers helping plant and water!

Available Fridays and Tuesday’s for the rest of the year! - DM for details or email [email protected]

Special thanks to the Keas of Meadowbank sowing seeds for our friends at City Mission and planting out a full bed of vegetables! Do pop by in a few weeks to see how they grow 😀 Beautiful manners and intelligent questions 🥇

Broad beans are in season and we have lots! So delicious! Just one idea here from the NZ gardeners diary - could use any veg but can’t go wrong with the humble BB

When people donate their subscriptions! 💕

“Hi TUMG
Please thank the donor of the veggie box. The veggies were used for soups and curries. I also made a fresh bread and decorated it with the herbs from your box.
All food is for the whanau of a local lady, who passed away early this week.
Many thanks “

Nearly there and the season starts next week! Spaces for a fortnightly box on Tuesdays and Fridays as well as for greens/salad boxes!
Give it a go!
Email [email protected] to book or find out more!

Would you like to receive a box of freshly harvested, organically grown produce every week? Keen to be a supporter of locally grown, sustainable food?

Great news! We have just a couple of spaces left for our Spring II CSA subscription(29/10-20/12). Get in touch to find out how to sign up for a Tuesday or Friday box 🥒🌱🥦🥕

Our CSA (short for Community Supported Agriculture), is just one of the ways we share our produce with our community, but it's the main way of ensuring that our garden supports paid work for our skilled farmers. In A CSA scheme, locals pay a subscription fee for the season and receive a weekly share of the harvest.

We love the CSA scheme because it enables farmers to have some income security to move with the seasons, and frees us up to focus on growing sustainably and investing in our soils, rather than living week-to-week. As a CSA subscriber, you do so much more than just purchase vegetables - you invest in the future of a local community-led project that builds growing skills, food resilience, and regenerates soil and ecosystems.

Subscriptions are now $25 per week, and our Spring II boxes included a weekly 1.5-2.5 kg of produce - including fresh herbs, cooking greens, carrots, beets, pumpkins, leeks, spring onions, fennel, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, salad mix (with microgreens), citrus and more! You can expect much more for spring, as the longer days and warmer weather settles in.

Email us at [email protected] to sign up! Please note priority will be given to those able to pay upfront for the full season (10 weeks).

If you are a community group that has a use for fresh local produce you are also welcome to get in touch about our donation channels 💚 2
