How was food grown and sourced in Point Chevalier before the modern supermarket? This presentation maps the area's food journey, beginning with pre-1840 Māori settlements, moving through the rise of early farms and home vegetable gardens, and highlighting the historic shop premises that served the community in the pre-supermarket era.
