What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers.

Te Koru Kai
What is Te Koru Kai?
Te Koru Kai is a food scrap exchange initiative created to support our Eastside whānau and whenua. Here's how it works:
➡️ You provide us with your food scraps.
➡️ In return, we give you fresh eggs.
➡️ Eventually, this will expand to include vegetables and meat!
This is a kaupapa designed specifically for the Eastside community to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and strengthen connections.
At the moment, Te Koru Kai is full, but I’ve started a waiting list. If you’d like to join, I can add your name, and you’ll be contacted when spaces open up.
Phone 0220805031 . You can find me on FB Claire Star
