This book travels through each major region where there were communities of Chinese market gardeners. In the growers� own words, the book presents their stories, their experiences and their thoughts on the life of a grower. Entry describes the Wun Loy Cafe in Hobson Street, Auckland, which was established in 1969 by Wong Heung and his wife Yuk Wun. It became a popular eating place for Chinese growers on Sunday evenings after delivering their produce to the city markets in Custom Street West. With a photo of Pukekohe growers Colin Sue and Jackie Young outside the cafe, 2006. Includes portrait.
