Māra Kai (Including Pātaka) & Workshops

Service Description

Kai Sovereignty: Growing Together for a Stronger Whānau At Whare Manaaki, we’re passionate about empowering whānau Māori to take control of their kai journey, embracing food sovereignty for healthier, more self-reliant communities. Growing and eating food we nurture ourselves not only means knowing exactly what’s in it, but it also deepens our connection to the whenua and saves on the grocery bill! From planting the first seed to harvesting the fruits of your labor, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our hands-on community education covers: Composting: Turn your waste into nourishment for your soil. Seed Propagation & Collecting: Learn how to grow from scratch and save seeds for future harvests. Planting Techniques: Discover the best ways to ensure your garden thrives. Minimising Waste: Reduce, reuse, and repurpose for sustainable living. Whether you’re new to gardening or looking to deepen your skills, we’ll help you build the knowledge and confidence to grow kai with pride and purpose. Together, let’s plant the seeds for a healthier tomorrow.
