Vege Co-Op - Community Kai Network
The St Albans Fruit & Vege Co-Op is now Community Kai Network, which aims to give people access to healthy, fresh food at a fair price and involve people in building their community.
This is run by the Community Focus Trust based in St Albans.
Each week you will receive a selection of fresh produce, with different varieties most weeks. All produce is seasonal and fresh. The average saving per week if brought from a mainstream supermarket is around $15.00, so you could save on average $60 per month.

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)
.
