Our Mission
Our Mission
Grounded in sustainability, we are creating a food system of growing and sharing kai and knowledge to strengthen whānau, so our children inherit a resilient, self-sufficient community.
Our Values
While the kaupapa of our organisation sits within the food security sector, our values are so much more than that.
Hauoranga – Promoting health and well-being in the community.
Pāporitanga – Building a closely-knit and self-reliant community.
Matauranga – Providing lifelong learning for community members.
Tiaki taiao – Ensuring a resilient and sustainable food system.
From our values, our grounding pepeha was created:
Mai i te whenua, te moana me te rangi,
From the earth, sea, & sky,
ka tū tahi tātou ka pōwhiritia ngā ringa tuwhera,
we stand together & welcome with open arms,
e awhi ana ta tātou hapori, arā, kia puāwai.
to help our community flourish.
