Mission to feed for less: Stop there on my way home all the time, so handy. Jude McCabe. Yep, drive in from Richmond weekly, sometimes more often. Great stall, friendly staff, brilliant products. Kirsty Tough.
Good on them for trying to make a difference. Big, good quality, locally grown fresh produce at a decent price is something I really took for granted living
in Nelson. You should see the picked-over old crap you're expected to pay top $ for in Invercargill, such a ripoff, it sucks. Miss Nelson grown fresh produce so much. Lulu Armstrong.
Naww, wish I could buy from there. No car and live in Nelson City area. Jae Walter I discovered this gem a couple of weeks ago. I don't think I will ever buy my veg anywhere else now. Abby Foote.

Richmond Rabbits win third TRL title: "No other side has gone before". You're wrong there. The Motueka Tigers won three consecutive grand finals in the early 90s and the Whakatu Firebirds won three in a row from 1997 to 19991. The Firebirds also won every game they

played in 1998, no draws or losses. Jah Jah. Great effort! Just a question though, was the comp run under the TRL umbrella? Because the article says 'no other TRL side...' Tristan Laubscher Southern Link debate: When decisions are made to build new roads and change traffic flows, it is usually to free up traffic-clogged town centres by building a bypass. A section of countryside is selected for the new road and the town is freed from its traffic burden. Here in Nelson the opposite is being demanded by a small-minded group who are ignoring the detrimental environmental and health effects the Southern Link will have on hundreds of families living in the Victory and Bishopdale areas, and Nelson as a whole. Rocks Road performs a very effective job as a bypass for the town centre. It makes absolutely no sense to put traffic back through built up areas. If someone was to suggest taking trucks off Whakatu Drive by building a new road along the Railway Reserve through Stoke on the grounds that the waterfront shouldn't have trucks on it, they would, quite rightly, be laughed at and ignored. A new road is not needed. It will not solve any of the claimed traffic issues in Nelson. All traffic will still be going through the Annesbrook roundabout. We need to look at longer term, sustainable traffic management. Car sharing, better public transport and park and ride schemes from Richmond. Ian Millward.
