Urban farming and localised composting in the heart of Newtown, Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington
We are on a mission to see communities recycling their food waste and growing kai regeneratively.
Kaicycle Composting
Kaicycle Composting collects compostable scraps from homes, offices and small businesses and recycles them into living compost.
We offer a bicycle-powered compost collection service for businesses in central Wellington City, and a drop-off service for households in the central city and suburbs.
Healthy soil
grows healthy plants to grow a healthy community.
Kaicycle Urban Farm
Kaicycle runs an organic urban farm on Hospital Road in Newtown. We practice and share regenerative kai growing techniques in the city, working within the natural eco-system to regenerate soil and grow nutrient-dense food.
The food we grow is donated to community groups that distribute it to those in need. Volunteers are offered produce. Farm Whānau membership offers you the change to pick your own produce and some other cool benefits.
Climate Change Ready
Our work contributes to creating centres of climate resilience. From fossil-free food production, carbon sequestration to community adaptation, we see local food and compost hubs as being a key tool for climate action and a liveable future. We collaborate with other climate and regenerative initiatives around the motu, sharing resources and knowledge.
Education
Open-Source
We offer knowledge and skills development through volunteering, workshops, events, Education group visits and Team Experiences.
We believe in open-source systems and peer-to-peer networks working like mycelium to create connected, resilient and co-operative communities. We are happy to share information, systems and skills about the things we do.
Get Involved
If you want to learn about regenerative gardening, healthy soil or composting, come to the farm and get involved. We offer volunteering, workshops, events, Education group visits and Team Experiences.
