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.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
81.7% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.3% No. This would be impossible in practice.
