Best organic eggs you can get (laid right here) in Auckland!
Kia ora Neighbourly whānau! We're spreading the word about our newest subscription addition to the farm: organic free range eggs.
Laid with love by our new layer hens right here at Kelmarna Community Farm.
Our hens range on our pasture and under our trees. They’re fed organically from a mix of brought-in-feed, greens that are grown & foraged on site and food rescued from the community. We’re proud to be able to offer nutritious eggs from hens with a great quality of life & hope that you can enjoy them too!
This is a weekly pick-up subscription using the CSA model.
Summer subscriptions start on Wednesday the 17th of January, and the season finishes on Wednesday the 28th of February.
Our season is a little shorter than usual due to only getting our new hens in December 2023.
You can choose a share of either one dozen eggs OR half a dozen eggs per week. Your eggs will be available for collection at Kelmarna from 11am each Wednesday. They will be available for collection all week, at any time that suits you as they will be stored in an outdoor collection box. Please bring your own egg carton to collect your eggs.
If you're not sure what we mean by CSA: it stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We ask for a payment upfront in exchange for a fresh portion of a dozen eggs each week during this season.
(This may vary from time-to-time due to extreme weather, hen illness or other production factors despite our best efforts.)
It is a partnership-based farming model that provides essential community and financial support for us to plan ahead and produce food for you, with the accepted risk & rewards that each season may offer.
We're super excited to be able to offer some of the most local, organic eggs in Tāmaki Makaurau. These are also available to buy as you like from our Farm Shop which is open Wednesdays & Saturdays 9-12pm - please BYO egg carton.
Please follow the link below to find out more, or if you're clucking to sign up right away email: csa@kelmarna.co.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
