Swap your fresh produce
Hi neighbours,
Have you joined the Magic Beans Hawke's Bay facebook group? If you grow your own food and sometimes have an excess, why not trade with your neighbours for other produce you don't have?
Magic Beans is about growing community primarily through the swapping of homegrown food and items that help with the production of homegrown food (eg horse/cow/sheep manure, pots and planters, compost, garden stakes, jars for preserving, egg cartons).
So jump on facebook and get involved today (don't let that tree full of citrus go to waste while you spend your hard earned $$$ on produce you might be able to get for free - and meet a greenthumbed neighbour while you're at it!).

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
