Second Harvest Nelson Tasman
A community initiative reducing food waste by rescuing surplus produce. We target fruits and vegetables not suitable for retail due to cosmetic flaws.
Our volunteers collect these overlooked treasures and distribute them to people in need throughout the Nelson Tasman region.

Making Nelson Tasman perfect for growing
Nelson Tasman's renowned horticulture produces abundant crops. Unfortunately, many perfectly edible fruits and vegetables never reach consumers.
We bridge this gap. Our network connects growers with volunteers and charities.
