You can join over one thousand Hutt Valley families now eating healthier and reducing their shopping bill, thanks to our local fruit and vege co-op, which is making fruit and vegetables affordable.
Hayley Horne, dietitian at Te Awakairangi Health Network, highly recommends the fruit and vege bags, particularly for families.“The bags provide enough for a medium family, they are different each week and they come with recipes for using the vegetables. You can buy more than one pack and you don’t have to order every week.”
To get the delivery you need to register with the co-op by filling out a registration form and paying $10 to $12 in advance per week for your bag (depending on the area where you live). Packs are available for pickup from your local co-ordinator every Tuesday.
The co-op is run out of seven hub locations in the Wellington region by several community organisations in partnership with Regional Public Health. Around 1,200 Hutt Valley families are getting bags each week which amounts to around 4-5 tonne of produce.
