Also can get into the NZ Herald, but nothing much is happening there as well. And posting here seems to take about 5 minutes - lagging.

@libroraptor The auction market was so much better. In my Dad's day, that's how it was. I much prefer to go to the Sunday markets than to buy from the supermarket. Solely because the money goes directly to the grower. They truly are the producers.

This won't serve the growers very well. They already grow veges that are selling for less than cost price. More money for the growers and less for the supermarkets - that what I'd say. They are the ones who have to work 7 days, rain and shine.
