Saturday Cooks
Kelmarna is an organic farm in central Auckland on a mission to transform our food system. On around 1.7 hectares of land we use permaculture methods to produce food for our local community. We grow vegetables, fruit, herbs, and flowers and keep chickens, bees, and sheep. Each Saturday morning we have a group of up to 25 volunteers who come and help us with our garden mahi. At the end of the session we provide a hot vegetarian lunch for these volunteer with produce from the gardens. So we need your help! We are looking for cooks to cook for these garden volunteers. We provide all the food, and basic kitchen facilities. You also get to enjoy in sharing the meal together with our garden volunteers. So if this sounds like something you are interested in we would love to hear from you. Come and be part of our important mahi and have fun along the way!
An interest in cooking and some cooking skills (we do not provide any cooking lessons/ education). An interest in cooking with seasonal produce and cooking with a limited selection of produce.
