AUT - Auckland University of Technology talked all about sustainability and food waste at their last event with T&G Global and Autogrow. We love seeing how local businesses are tackling food waste 🙌

A heart-warming initiative tackling food waste has been launched by our friends at Farro Fresh.

Janene Draper, co-founder of Farro Fresh, and her sister Leysa Ross, have founded the Waste-Not kitchen, a charity re-purposing good surplus food to nourish women staying at Women’s Refuge safe houses in Auckland.

Quality surplus meat at their stores, that would otherwise be thrown out, will be cooked up along with a rich variety of vegetables, which we’re proud to be supplying, to make nourishing soups to heat and eat.

The soups are available at Farro stores and online on a 1+ 1 basis - one for the customer - and one for women and their families.

T&G’s weekly supply of fresh vegetables includes lemons, spinach, chillies, onion, celery, ginger and agria potatoes.

Fernglen Farms have spoken at two of our events this year and will also be at our upcoming event at Lincoln University. Check out this Video of the AM Show hosts tasting the Performance Protein Sheeps Milk 😁
