It was a pleasure hosting Local Football Team
taking time in our māra to add some strength and conditioning training to their practice.

Compost flipping is not for the faint of heart with a total workout around rotational core, back and glutes to help with stability, endurance and reduced risk of of injury going into the season.

Get in touch to book your team session with us today !!

About MCP:
"The MCP aims to connect participants to each other, their local community and to te taiao (the natural world). New migrants can work side by side with long-time Aucklanders they might otherwise have never met. These kanohi te kanohi (face to face) experiences strengthen community and help migrants feel welcome. The MCP also helps migrants gain new skills and experiences through hands-on conservation volunteering. "

The Migrant Conservation programme aims to connect new migrants to their communities to help develop connection with nature and neighbours.

Happy 2025 from the farmers of the NZ Ethnic Women's Trust !! 🥳🎉

We've left the weeds to keep growing and feeding our soils 🪱 and pollinators 🦋 while we rest 💤 🌞

Did you know many common weeds have medicinal uses? Nature didnt invent weeds, humans did! So let's change our perspective and welcome the gifts nature gives us. 💝

We can't wait to get back into farming in February! In the meantime, feel free to come visit our beautifully weedy garden 💚🌿

Ngā mihi to the Puketāpapa Local Board for supporting us to host the epic Puketāpapa Grow Series.

Today we had Whenua Warrior having a mean kōrero and workshop on natural rhythms, and building a Tāpapa for our community to start seeding kūmara.

Appreciate the turnout and engagement on this kaupapa, even had our Local Park Ranger from Auckland Council involved 😀
