FoodTogether in Feilding
FoodTogether is a food cooperative offering bags of fresh, affordable fruit and vegetables for weekly collection in Feilding. Orders are placed and paid for online at www.foodtogether.co.nz... and each week a group of local volunteers packs and distributes the produce at St John's Church Hall (corner of Camden and Lethbridge Streets).
You can choose from a $15 Value Bag, a $23 Super Value Bag and the Deal of the Week. Each week orders close by noon on Wednesday for pick up between 11am and 1pm on Thursday (other times by arrangement only).
After all the orders are packed, any surplus produce is donated to local educational or community groups. So far 13 different groups in Feilding have received some fresh fruit and vegetables from FoodTogether.
For more details please visit the website or our local FoodTogether Feilding Facebook page. Thank you!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
