Rain, wind or shine, our team of dedicated cyclists zip around Pōneke on e-bikes collecting food scraps from offices and apartments in the city, diverting nearly one tonne of food scraps from landfill every week!

Households can also compost with us by dropping off food scraps at one of our hubs in Te Aro, Newtown and Berhampore.

We then process your leftovers, banana peels and coffee grinds by hand - recycling them into beautiful compost that’s teeming with microbes and mauri.

Work with nature to restore soil health, sequester carbon, and grow nutrient-dense kai that is free from GMOs & chemicals.

We practice and share Māori-led organic & regenerative farming principles, known as Hua Parakore. Learn more at one of our many working bees!

Most of the kai we grow is donated to community groups that distribute it to those in need. You can also buy our produce online at Co-Shop.

Engaging in localised growing and composting empowers you and your whānau to prepare for and adapt to the challenges of climate change as well as develop independence from our broken food system.

Like interconnected fungal mycelium, our community is stronger and more resilient when we co-operate in symbiosis. We are always keen to collaborate with organisations & individuals around the motu who share our kaupapa. Whether it’s sharing knowledge & skills, running workshops & events, or growing our collective impact, let us know!
