For provisioning in the Bay of Islands (Opua), Auckland, Whangārei, Great Barrier Island, Nelson, Picton. By season (spring Sep–Nov, summer Dec–Feb, autumn Mar–May, winter Jun–Aug), listed from the season produce first becomes available — so it only says what's in season, never that something is imported.
