The world seems extra chaotic at the moment and with the ongoing fuel crisis, sustainability and affordability are more relevant than ever. That's why now was the perfect time for me to chat with Alex Morrissey, the founder of the Little Farms organic grocer here in the Wairarapa. We chatted about how Alex got into growing her own food, why supporting local is better for the planet and your wallet, and how you can start growing your own produce from basically nothing.
