Avocado rescue - update! Rescue completed. Avocados are on their way back and will be available from 14th!
Hi again
The rescue has been a success. The avos - 'ugly', ground-kissed or clever enough to hide from the pickers - are on the road back to Wellington as we speak and will be available from tomorrow, 14 Dec until sold out.
Price is:
$2 each (the best)
$1.50 each (just babes)
$35 for 20 (for lovers or those with room in the fridge - cool fruit to slow ripening)
$55 for 40 (for serious lovers and those wanting to gift onto others who are lovers / or cafe owners).
Bulk buyers (20 or 40) can collect from 20 Farm Road, Northland. PM me to arrange collection day/time.
All others can be brought from Reef or Kyra on Karori Road, Glenmore St or Miramar, near the airport. We just need to arrange time but expect it to be 1-6pm.

Hi all avocado lovers
Two very keen 18-year-olds are off to Turlough Hill orchard, Katikati, this weekend to rescue the ‘ugly’ avos and bring them back to Wellington. They will be selling them from Mon next week. I’ll post more about where and when and how much but wanted to let you know they’re coming! They’re not perfect and will be a mix of sizes but are good fruit and will be well priced.
PM me if you want to know more or would like to order 20 or more. Otherwise, I’ll let you know where the Ute will be parked up once we have a plan!
