In November 2023 we launched a learning network for six regenerative community-connected farms across Auckland City.
The participating spaces all share the goal of growing abundant & nutritious food with methods that mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.
They’ll be receiving mentoring with FTLOB and come together to network and support one another as they upskill with biology-first principles and emerging soil science.
The aim of this network is to gather & support a community of farm teams – so they can further support their local communities with kai and knowledge about how to grow it.
We launched the network with all our Tāmaki Makaurau growers getting together for our first workshop, followed by tours of the six participating māra kai – Kelmarna Community Farm, Growing Point at Dignan St Community Garden , TUMG Tamaki Urban Market Garden, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei māra Kai Pourewa, Ihumaatao and For The Love of Bees model farm OMG Organic Market Garden. Also joining us was Grow Space Auckland , who are shadowing our workshops as they continue to develop their regenerative projects in Morningside.
