A climate friendly food system in your neighbourhood

Pathways to Abundance Workshop Series

Permaculture in the City!
Join us at Kelmarna Community farm for this in depth 5-part series. Learn in detail with full-day workshops – how to grow your own food and live well in the city or on the land. Create abundance in your garden, using ecological and sustainable techniques, and design that works with nature. Each session provides a deep-dive into a focus topic, to give you all the tools you need to obtain a yield.

Welcome!

We’d love you to join our 40+ year journey to support a resilient, healthy community living in a way that regenerates the natural environment; connected to the land, our food and each other.

Kelmarna Community Farm is nestled in the heart of Auckland’s Ponsonby area on 4.5 acres of land leased from the council. The gate to our thriving organic farm is open to the community at all times and we welcome you to come experience, learn and enjoy all we have to offer. From our Farm Shop to monthly workshops, annual events and our many volunteering opportunities — we want to share the joys of our urban oasis with you.

Please book for larger groups, leave pooch at home (we have sheep & chooks!) and
only pick fruit, veg or flowers when you’re with one of our team!
