Kelmarna Community Farm

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.
