NEWS
Local Farmers Markets are held every Saturday at various locations around the country and usually advertise in the local papers. These markets are a great source of fresh food; many of the suppliers offer organic or biodynamic produce. You can ask the growers about their production methods. Organics NZ has listed three organisations that provide organic certification of produce here in New Zealand.
Organic NZ is a local organics and sustainable living magazine published bi-monthly. This provides a directory of organic and biodynamic food growers and retailers; many offer a home delivery service. www.organicnz.org
