Invercargill Green Drinks

Join us for a drink, networking and a short talk that will continue the Sustainable Food Movement theme from last month. Anna Star will give a short talk about the Harvest Box Scheme that is being piloted in Invercargill this winter.
Food Links – direct connections between the food growers and consumers - may be the answer to how organic, permaculture grown can food be produced in quantities and at prices that are accessible to ordinary people.
Popular in Europe and the USA, the principle of a Harvest or Vege Box is that for a set fee every week you receive a box of locally and organically grown produce at reasonable prices. You don’t order any particular vegetables but instead get the freshest, in-season produce, often accompanied with recipe ideas. Good for the buyer, good for the producer and good for the planet too. The talk starts at 6pm.
Green Drinks have been going in more than 50 countries around the World, and in 15 towns in New Zealand. Every month people who work in the environmental field or are passionate about the environment and sustainability, meet up at informal social sessions known as Green Drinks.
In Invercargill, we are meeting every last Thursday of the month, at Zookeepers at 5.30 till 7pm, or late.
Come on your own, or with a friend, and just say, "Are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there and make you welcome.
