Our Vege Bag order forms are live! Link in bio to order. Orders close 9pm on Tuesday. Deliveries are made on Thursday morning. Medium Vege bag: $20 Small Vege bag: $10 The produce in each bag will vary week to week to ensure we are delivering the freshest seasonal produce. As needed, we will supplement our bags with produce from another Canterbury organic grower. We’ll identify this via email. At times, we also have fruit available in the bags. But it won’t happen every week. Please make sure to read through the order form as we have strict guidelines around how we deliver to ensure that we adhere to Covid-19 anti-transmission and health and safety measures. Free delivery within the Addington zone. $5 within the south-west of Christchurch.
We're stoked to be able to offer Vege Bags delivered right to your door. This has been given the tick of approval by both MBIE and Horticulture NZ. We've got our NP1 certificate and we're up with all our food safety and anti-transmission measures. We'll be releasing this week's vege order form tomorrow so stay tuned. As we're sure you're aware, we are closed to the public. Stay home. But stay connected. Give your mum a call. Spend time in your garden. Pop a teddy in your window.
As our country changes to Alert 4, the Addington Farm will continue to supply vegetables. We now have a system for providing direct-to-customer as you stay home. We have a NP1 License and are we are actively strengthening all our policies and systems to adhere to the newest information. From this week onward the farm will be offering small and large vege bags. Delivery is $2 within Addington. Large bags include 4-8 items ($20) - Order in link in bio. Small bags include 3-5 items ($10) - Order in link in bio. Orders need to be in by 4 pm on Wednesday. Deliveries will be completed on Thursday.

Once your order is received we will send you a invoice. Please pay via online banking. At this time it is really important for us to be able to work together as a supportive weave. If you know someone who needs a vege bag please get in contact. Subsidies are available if someone cannot afford to pay. Kia manawanui.
No working bee today! We realise that it can feel like an uncertain time. But in uncertainty, let's look after each other. Stay connected. Reach out. Say hi. Smile and wave! Now is also a good time to start planning the winter vege garden. Good things to plant: Red Russian Kale, beetroot, Rainbow Chard, bok choi, Cavolo Nero kale.
Huge thank you to The Garden Box for supplying some awesome soil and compost for our new veggie patch @ 32 Poulson Street. The soil spreading crew enjoyed some well deserved cold drinks to finish off a hot afternoon! We love to be able to grow local fresh veggies for our neighbourhood & help connect people together. 💪👌👍🥦🥕🥬 & yes I did forget to sunscreen my nose. #growninsoil #supporteachother #veggiesbringpeopletogether #community #urbanfarm #nutrition #foodheals
No working bee today! Unfortunately some people are away and some have winter sniffles. So please take the time to enjoy some sunshine. In these funny times, let's stay connected as people. Ring your neighbour, check in with your mates and wave hi to others! We have extra fruit which we're going to leave by the front gate at 2pm. If you're keen please help yourself 😊
Kia ora -it’s been a great week down at the Addington Farm. We have moved our nursery space into one of the tunnel houses in preparation for winter. Huge thank you to the volunteers who have been helping build the nursery tables and bottom watering trays. Watering this way reduces the amount of moisture on the foliage which can lead to fungal issues #learningtogether #regenerativeagriculture #livingsoil #nutrientdensefood #urbanfarming
Happy birthday to this wonderful lady! We love having you around 🎉
Open working bee 🐝 1-3pm today! Come and join us. We've got some harvesting, planting and mulching to do. And of course, cups of teas to be shared!
No working bee tomorrow! Unfortunately with people away we won't be having our open space tomorrow. But we'll be back again next week! So enjoy the sunshine 🌞🌞
Open working bee 1-3pm. Come along on this beautiful blue day! We'll be getting stuck into the garden - weeding, clearing beds and sprucing up the place. As ever, we'll finish with a hot cuppa tea 🍵
This is Isaac. He enjoys long walks through the vegetable aisles. Getting up close and personal with the microgreens. Tenderly harvesting salad greens... And today is his birthday! 🎉🎉 He's fun, good to have a yarn with and cares for others. We really appreciate having him around!
