Kai @ the Right Price comes to Opotiki

People can now access affordable, quality fruit and vegetable packs from Garden Fresh, Opotiki. Starting from Monday, May 6th, Garden Fresh will take ‘Kai @ the Right Price’ orders from customers throughout the week for pick up on Thursdays. There are two different sized fruit and vegetable packs to choose from at either $15 or $20. Each pack has a variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables and comes in a sturdy, reusable eco-bag.

Kai @ the Right Price is a community based project supported by Toi Te Ora – Public Health Service. The project aims to help families get their recommended daily intake of fresh fruit and vegetables for a reasonable price. The benefits of eating fruit and vegetables are many. They contain a large number of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required to enable optimum growth and development and maintain health. “Kai at the Right Price will help Opotiki whanau get their weekly fruit and veg for a good price,” says Brad Bluett, Health Improvement Advisor.

Come down to Garden Fresh on launch day – Monday May 6th as the first 10 customers will get a free $15 voucher when they place an order! “We’re really excited to be able to provide the packs to our customers,” says owner and operator of Garden Fresh, John Waddington. “If you would like to order a pack, come into the store and see Ruby or myself,” says John.

There will be in-store promotions and healthy recipes and tips included in the bags each week during the 3 month trial. “If the Opotiki community supports ‘Kai@ the Right Price’ the produce packs will continue to be available from Garden Fresh after the trial ends in August. So support Kai @ the Right Price and phone Garden Fresh on 315 7486 with your weekly order today,” says Brad.
