“I get a weekly veggie bag from the farm and there’s such a great variety in them! I love knowing its been grown just around the corner, and that the team work hard in such a cool urban farm! It’s great to support local, the bags are really value for money and I’ve got to try crops I’d not find in the supermarket too.” Kate
two options to choose from
How it works?
- We grow veges organically in the heart of Ōtautahi. Veges that are fresh, and nutritious. Veges that are carefully planted, watered, picked & packed to NZ NP1 Food Safety standards.
- We sell our veges using a subscription method for getting your veges directly from our garden. We love growing to the seasons & we ask locals to sign up for one-season blocks. This allows us to plan ahead and make better use of our māra kai space.
- You choose between a vege bag or premium salad share. Sign-ups open 2 weeks before the change of seasons.
- You enjoy delicious veges delivered or picked up weekly. Veges that help you connect with the whenua & seasons. Veges that help you get creative in the kitchen and cook healthy. Veges that bring people together.

COMMON QUESTIONS
WHAT IF I’M GOING AWAY ON HOLIDAY? We will not charge you for the weeks you are away. You will need to provide 2 weeks’ notice if you are going away so that we can plan our harvests/planting accordingly.
WHAT WILL BE IN THE VEGE BAG EACH WEEK? The vege bag changes slightly each week with the seasons. There will always be at least 6 or 7 items:
- root crops or butternut pumpkins
- brassicas such as cauliflower or broccoli
- leafy greens such as spinach, pac choi or kale
- 120g salad mix bag
- herbs, spring onions or microgreens
- corn, tomatoes or cucumbers
From time to time we buy in crops from our partner farms in the local area. Sadly we don’t have the space to grow 400+ pumpkins each year in our current gardens.
BILLING? It helps us to receive just 1 payment in advance for the whole 12 week season. This allows us to focus our energy on growing & harvesting instead of monitoring late payments. If it’s not feasible for you to pay the bill in advance we can arrange multiple payments.
WHAT IF I NEED TO WITHDRAW MID SEASON? If you need to withdraw during the season, you can do so by giving three weeks notice so that we have time to fill your spot. We will refund the remaining weeks that you have paid for.
WHAT IF THE FARM HAS A CROP FAILURE? If the farm has a major crop failure due to extreme weather, pest or disease there could be a reduction of veges in the CSA shares each week. We plan and utilize vege growing systems to minimize this risk.
