"Aotearoa New Zealand’s food system is an important part of our economy. Food exports contribute significantly to GDP, employ thousands, and support many rural livelihoods. However, our food system requires rebalancing to ensure that alongside meeting economic goals it also supports the health and wellbeing of all New Zealanders.

So where can we start to look to reform this system? We have some ideas."

Bagged watermelons for protection.
These are 3 of 15 of watermelons that are currently growing on vines.
It's my 2nd year attempting to grow watermelons on Southern Vancouver Island. I'm getting a lot more fruits than last year 🍉👩‍🌾👍
My cantaloupe seeds failed this year.

I have several baby #watermelons now 👩‍🌾
These are a few of my unripe sugar baby watermelons 😀💦🍉
I do a lot of hand pollination with watermelons. They need extra pollinating help.

Eating half a soursop fruit yielded several seeds that I'll be trying to grow 👩‍🌾

Mom & I picked our first homegrown #strawberries of 2026. Missing from photo are the 22 fruits we ate in yard, while picking them 🍓 They're really sweet & delicious. These are our native strawberries. Our June everbearing ones are about 2-3 times the size of these smaller, native strawberries. The native strawberries are smaller but their taste is much sweeter.

Got my nephew down for a nap after going for some playground fun nearby.

I've sowed some of the Early Canadian watermelon & Haley's Best cantaloupe sprouts 👩‍🌾💚

It's a wonderful time of year to visit #WellandCommunityOrchard 🌸💚🌸
Hundreds of trees are blossoming, right now. Lots of wildflowers & other pollinator flowers are out. Lots of berry plants are developing new fruits.

Our backyard apple tree is in full bloom now 💗
I don't know what kind of apple tree it is but it produces very large, juicy apples. The taste is sweet with a bit of tartness.

We've added two wooden/wicker chairs by lower raised garden beds & near our berries grow zone. A lovely spot to take a rest break.

One of our heirloom, red fleshed, apple tree blossoms. I'll update with the name of this cultivar soon - forgot it (we have over 125 heirloom apple trees at Welland).

Tons of baby #strawberries are forming. Strawberries are our biggest fruit crop. We grow them in back/front/side yards & have lots in various pots all around our deck/yard/patio. We grow thousands of strawberries! Several different types are growing together.
