VFF New Community Garden In Stratford, Taranaki
VFF Stratford’s Gardening Success
We have identified food security as a critical issue to address in our local groups.
With supply chain issues, fuel costs and the rising cost of living, it’s important to help each other and find local solutions.
There are several ways we can help each other in this area. In this short blog post I would like to highlight three ways VFF Stratford has been able to make progress in the area of local food production.

What steps are you taking to address these issues?
