WE'RE CROWDFUNDING OUR BIG PADDOCK 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.

This will involve doubling our vegetable growing space, introducing a flock of pastured layer hens, and planting many, many trees.

We need your help to make this possible! Click here to find out more about the project and how you can play your part.
​

​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.

Take a look around our site to find out more about our work and how you can get involved!
