If you want to learn about regenerative farming or composting, come to the farm and get involved! We share knowledge and develop practical skills through volunteer worker bees, workshops, events, Education group visits and Team Experiences.

Wind, rain or shine, our team of dedicated cyclists zip around Pōneke on e-bikes collecting food scraps from offices and multi-unit dwellings in the city centre, diverting nearly a 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.

At Kaicycle we 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!

The food we grow is donated to community groups that distribute it to those in need, offered to volunteers, or sold on Co-Shop. We also have a Farm Whānau membership that allows you to pick your own produce.

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 networks, our community is stronger and more resilient when we co-operate. 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!
