Evelyn Page Residents Go Bananas

Evelyn Page Retirement Village

Two major milestones were recently celebrated by Evelyn Page Village residents visiting a nearby farm converted into a banana plantation.

The first was the five-year anniversary since Ryman Healthcare’s Ōrewa village signed up to the City to Farm project, which sees food scraps collected, fermented and then composted on the farm at nearby Waitoki and is part of a pilot study.

The second milestone is that the amount of food scraps collected from Evelyn Page Village is soon to tip over the 100 tonnes mark.
