If you love food, you'll love Wellington's Local Food Week!
Local Food Week is an annual celebration of Wellington's local food producers and food system. It is organised alongside Neighbours Aotearoa – a national campaign which encourages everyone around Aotearoa New Zealand to do something to connect with their neighbours. What better way to connect than around local food?
