Ollie will be missed for sure! But an awesome opportunity for another awesome composter out there! Check it out Tāmaki Composters.

We have another opportunity for employment at the farm!

Our current Soil Factory Compost Coordinator - Ollie, is moving on to pursue his career in architecture. Ollie has been an amazing member of the team, and we've been lucky to have him innovating and driving our food scraps collection and soil building activities forward over the past 18 months, alongside finishing his degree.
As we prepare for him to finish up the role in November, we are now recruiting for someone to fill these boots! We've also expanded the role a little, incorporating more participation in the gardening and food growing areas of our mahi, via co-facilitating our Saturday volunteer day.

So if you're looking for work in the sustainable/regenerative food sector and have some relevant experience to contribute we'd love to hear from you.

The role is for 22 hours/week (days of work: Monday/Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). The deadline for applications is 5pm, on Thursday 10th October.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to delivering our vision for a more sustainable food system by demonstrating regenerative farming right in the middle of Auckland.

We welcome kōrero and questions about the position, so feel free to reach out to our General Manager, Sarah McFadden, via phone or email.

Celebrate World Soil Day with us!

The theme for this year is the connection between soil and water, and the aim is to raise awareness of the importance and relationship between soil and water in achieving sustainable and resilient agrifood systems.

We are thrilled to have Tim Bowater from Carbon Cycle speaking about composting as regenerative practice in what he calls the "fooding" system, to engage the idea of a process (doing) rather than products/items that can be seen in isolation. Tim is also representing the Aotearoa Composters Network (ACN) and DEANZ.

The webinar is on Tuesday, 5 December at 12pm. Learn more here: https://www.wasteminz.org.nz/Events/Celebrating-World-Soil-Day

Community Compost are ready to take Nelson's food scrap resources to make compost, check out this article about their incredibly successful trial. Let's hope the council moves quickly to support their environmentally friendly solution.

Plans for a kerbside kitchen waste collection in Nelson are in limbo until a big enough facility to process the waste is found.
