Acts of Tāwhirimatea weren't in our budget for 2025, so we'd love help from our community to buy a new tunnelhouse after ours got DESTROYED by the code red storm a few weeks ago! Please help us to Save Our Seedlings 🌱🌱🌱🌱

Our tunnelhouse is essential for growing seedlings - but ours blew down in the big storm! Help us buy a new one.

Kia ora whānau! We're on the lookout for donations of 2nd hand plastic buckets (10L and 20L) in the Pōneke/Wellington area 🪣

Many businesses use food-grade buckets to buy produce in bulk, but often can't reuse them due to food safety standards. We'd love to repurpose any 2nd hand buckets in our food scrap collection and composting service!

If you or anyone you know wants to divert some buckets from landfill, please put us in touch at [email protected] 🫰

It’s the first Saturday of the month, and the urban farm is buzzing with activity. People are chatting while weeding a bed of leafy greens and sunflowers, turning compost and enjoying freshly picked herbal tea. Tamariki are learning how to plant seedlings and picking baby carrots to take home.

This is the perspective from Kaicycle Urban Farm and Composting, just one of hundreds of small composting initiatives around Aotearoa that capture and compost food scraps, and use the nutrients locally to build soil and grow kai.

Composting jobs are back on the menu for our Thursday volunteering sessions, 4-6pm! Join us if you’d like some satisfying cardio turning compost piles, and to help give our composting area a makeover!
Over the next few weeks, we’re refreshing the pest proofing on our compost boxes, installing some new boxes, and making some better lids for them.
You can sign up for a volunteering session at our Newtown urban farm and compost hub at the link in our bio.
Look forward to seeing you there!
