We can host your group for an awesome hands on experience at our Newtown Urban Farm!
Book in with us now for a meaningful team experience this Christmas!
Our urban farm group experience offers your team the chance to get out of the office and into nature in the heart of Aotearoa’s capital city. You’ll get to explore our urban farm, engage in a gardening or sustainability workshop of your choice, get your hands in the soil, support local food resilience, and most importantly have fun!
If you are a community or educational group, check out our Farm Visits For Educational Groups page.

A local charity committed to creating a resilient and sustainable food system, where everyone has access to good nutritious kai
Providing hands on learning opportunities about sustainable kai growing for urban tamariki and rangatahi
The donation of our Newtown grown kai to those in need in our communities through our partnership with the Compassion Soup Kitchen Te Kīhini Hupa o Pūaroha and Te Whare Hapori o ngā Puna Waiora | Newtown Community Centre
Empowering and educating people to grow their own kai sustainably
Tangible climate action
Your business or organisation in meeting their sustainability and wellbeing goals
Plus, you get to upskill, have fun, and boost your hauora through connecting with nature and getting your hands in the dirt - what’s not to love about that!
Pricing:
When hosting business groups, we not only need to be able to pay our staff their wages for the day, but also generate revenue to help support our community outreach and education programmes and get kai to those in need in our community. This is what your payment covers when you come to us for a group experience . We keep our costs down as much as possible, and the financial contribution we ask for groups visiting the farm is the minimum required to cover these costs.
Our pricing guide can be found below.
