Thank you for crowdfunding our paddock expansion plans!

​We have big plans for our paddocks which will demonstrate diverse models of regenerative agriculture, produce an abundance of food, create meaningful jobs, train future farmers, and heaps more good stuff.

Thank you so much to everyone who got behind our crowdfunding campaign, we are absolutely blown away by this incredible show of support from our community. It means so much to us.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you all, and start bringing this project to life in the new year!

If you have arrived here after the campaign finished, you can find out more about our paddock development project here.

Thank you so much!

​Kelmarna Gardens is an organic community farm in Ponsonby, central Auckland.

Through rebuilding connections between our people and our food, we work to champion and demonstrate a regenerative local food system that supports climate change mitigation, urban resilience and community wellbeing.

Set on 4.5 acres of Hukanui Reserve above Ōpoutūteka Cox's Creek, our community farm has worked to provide delicious, healthy food and be a place of learning and well-being for our community for over 40 years.
