This is a 400 square metre urban farm at 257 Symonds Street in Eden Terrace, Auckland, run by the social enterprise Delicious Revolution. The farm is community supported and has trained growers since 2018. Its produce has been used on a training space, and the farm has produced 21 tonnes of food to date. A nearby 6,500 square metre school garden and food forest sits beside one of South Auckland's remaining wetlands.
The produce goes into a school lunch programme that feeds 2,500 students a day. The team offers growing resource packs and mentorship for young people aged 25 and under, and a propagation kit for home growers. In 2022 it grew 20,000 sunflowers inside a hospital and raised over $11,000 for the Starship Foundation. Our pick in Eden Terrace for a look at how an urban farm feeds a school.
