Avocado rescue - update! Rescue completed. Avocados are on their way back and will be available from 14th!
Hi again
The rescue has been a success. The avos - 'ugly', ground-kissed or clever enough to hide from the pickers - are on the road back to Wellington as we speak and will be available from tomorrow, 14 Dec until sold out.
Price is:
$2 each (the best)
$1.50 each (just babes)
$35 for 20 (for lovers or those with room in the fridge - cool fruit to slow ripening)
$55 for 40 (for serious lovers and those wanting to gift onto others who are lovers / or cafe owners).
Bulk buyers (20 or 40) can collect from 20 Farm Road, Northland. PM me to arrange collection day/time.
All others can be brought from Reef or Kyra on Karori Road, Glenmore St or Miramar, near the airport. We just need to arrange time but expect it to be 1-6pm.

Hi all avocado lovers
Two very keen 18-year-olds are off to Turlough Hill orchard, Katikati, this weekend to rescue the ‘ugly’ avos and bring them back to Wellington. They will be selling them from Mon next week. I’ll post more about where and when and how much but wanted to let you know they’re coming! They’re not perfect and will be a mix of sizes but are good fruit and will be well priced.
PM me if you want to know more or would like to order 20 or more. Otherwise, I’ll let you know where the Ute will be parked up once we have a plan!

Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
