SUMMER at KELMARNA
This summer we’re inviting you to spend Summer at Kelmarna – celebrating all the ways food brings people together.
We kick off in February with our acclaimed Farm Dinners; March sees two new events – Little Kai Festival and Equinox Festival, replacing the previous one day community festival. Our Summer series culminates in April with an Autumn seedling sale, helping you on your growing journey.
Come join us! There’s something for everyone to enjoy.
See details below for dates and more…
Our community farm is more than a place to grow fresh, organic produce – it’s a space where friends, families, and neighbours come together to connect with nature, learn about sustainable farming, and celebrate the joys of a local, climate-friendly food system.
