Open from Wednesday, 8th September, 8am

Riverside Milk

We will be open from Wednesday (8th September) 8 am onwards. Once again you will be able to get your milk 24/7.

Please take the following precautions before entering the shed as well as during and after milk vending:

1. Do not enter the milk vending shed if you have any Covid-19 symptoms. Stay at home, contact your GP or Healthline.

2. You now need to wear a mask in the shed because our space is a defined small space.

3. Mandatory record keeping comes into effect from 11:59 pm on 7 September 2021. Therefore you must either scan our QR code or sign into the Covid Tracing sheet (inside).

4. Please thoroughly wash and dry your hands at the outside sink or disinfect your hands with the supplied sanitiser BEFORE you enter the shed.

5. Please only enter the shed one at a time. Physical distancing of 2 meters between yourself and the next customer applies at all times.

6. Overall, please be mindful of how your cleaning and hygiene practices during milk vending may impact on the next few customers.

All support towards keeping everyone safe and sticking to the rules is hugely appreciated by our milk team and we thank you and your family in advance.

Happy Safe Vending Everyone 🙂
Daisy on behalf of Riverside Milk.

Riverside Milk is not proccessed in any form. It is raw milk. The Ministry of Primary Industries advises the following: “Raw milk may contain harmful microorganisms that can cause serious illness. To reduce the risk of illness, raw milk should be heated to at least 70 ⁰C for one minute. This is critical for infants, young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems”.

New Year, Same Brain Teasers!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.

Yet, the police knew it was a murder.

How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
