Expected contents of Food Together orders for 7 March

Kathriona Benvie from

Did you read the article about us in the Manawatu Standard or on Stuff this week? We are delighted with this publicity and it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the fantastic team that pack your orders each week. The link is below if you missed it
This week the $12 value orders are expected to contain cabbage, carrots, onions, spring onions, oranges, royal gala apples and pears. In the $20 orders add in potatoes, telecucumber and bananas. The deal of the week is a punnet of Aguta baby kiwifruit $3.
We have the Food Together cloth re-usable and re-purposed bags back in stock. You can order them online or pay us $5 cash at St Matthews. There is quite a good range of colours available and they are sturdy with many customers still arriving to pack their orders into the bags they got about 18 months ago.
To celebrate their return there will be two lucky draws this week to win one of these bags if you make an order before noon on Tuesday. Why not order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz...
The end of summer lucky draw was won by Kate B.
Photos of last weeks 12 and $20 orders are shown below

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
