Village Soup & Buns 🍲🥖

Today we enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring a wonderful variety of soups made using pumpkins freshly grown by our talented gardeners. Paired perfectly with warm, fresh buns from Bella Pane Putaruru , it was a truly comforting meal.

One of the standout favourites was the kumara and pumpkin soup—absolutely delicious!

We finished off with cakes and a relaxing cuppa tea ☕🍰

A big thank you to the Village Events Group for organising such a successful and enjoyable lunch!

Village Mix & Mingle – What a Fantastic Morning!

At today’s Village Mix & Mingle, we were honoured to welcome our guest speaker, Sir Henry Van Der Heyden, alongside his son Simon Van Der Heyden. They shared fascinating insights into Better Eggs and their future plans here in Putāruru, it was both informative and inspiring.

Our morning tea featured delicious mini feta egg quiches, which were a very fitting addition to the menu!

A big thank you to Henry and Simon for taking the time out of their day to join us and share their knowledge. We truly appreciated the opportunity to hear from you both.
