Kelmarna Community Farm is an organic farm in central Auckland. Through rebuilding connections between our people and our food, we work to champion and demonstrate a regenerative local food system that supports environmental restoration, climate change mitigation, urban resilience and community wellbeing.
Kelmarna is a registered charity occupying 1.7 hectares of publicly-owned land in Ponsonby, which includes substantial vegetable gardens, food forest, layer hens, and a developing silvopasture for sheep grazing.
From this site we run a diverse range of activities, including:
varied volunteering programmes and roles
horticultural therapy for people with mental health needs or intellectual disability
farm education programme for schools
educational workshops for adults
Soil Factory, our community composting enterprise
on-site Farm Shop
produce sales to restaurants
community events
Our vision for Kelmarna’s future: A better-resourced, robustly funded, and widely recognised education and community hub at the forefront of the ecological food movement.
