Going bananas at The Foodshow
03 August 2011 | Posted by julia in All Good News, Banana lovers, General
It was a pretty good turn out for Fairtrade at the Auckland Foodshow this year.
Oxfam had their Oxmart stand showcasing every Fairtrade product imaginable and encouraging people to sign-up to a better deal for farmers. Trade Aid were swamped by people learning (and chomping down) their delicious Fairtrade chocolate.
Meanwhile, the All Good crew got to do what they did best and chatted to people about what a difference spending that extra dollar on All Good ‘nanas makes to our growers.

And bribed people with goodies made with our bananas from Ripe Deli, Kokako, Nice Blocks and Kohu Road.
Kokako tempted people with their banana bread each morning…

Nice Blocks were swamped when they did their sampling on Saturday…

and Kohu Road got people drooling over their ice-cream made with All Good Fairtrade bananas.

We met some super organised people at the event too. Many with shopping trolleys to help carry their purchases, and these guys who brought their own walkie-talkies to the event…

Smart thinking...
Met some little monkeys too.

Nice one Foodshow, nice one.
