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.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?
If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
