City To Farm
City to Farm collects food scraps across north Auckland for composting on local farms. By helping businesses and schools participate in climate change solutions, we have diverted over 150 tonnes of food scraps from landfill
What We Do
City to Farm takes all types of food scraps and provides training and equipment for your food scrap collection.
We meet with businesses to survey the food scraps generated. Collection can start right away.
City to Farm has already been deemed carbon neutral by Massey University and will soon be carbon negative when the bananas trees begin producing! Participating businesses become genuine mitigators of climate change.
How It Works
We drop off buckets or wheelie bins, you fill them up, we collect them - Simple!
City to Farm provides a range of collection containers from buckets to wheelie bins. C2F trains your staff to layer the food with Zing, a food-safe compost starter that also controls odours.
City to Farm collects the bins or buckets weekly and replaces them with clean containers and more Zing. All you need to do is find a secure, shady place to store bins or buckets for easy collection.
Why We Do It
How we grow our food and dispose of our food waste are among the biggest contributors to climate change.
By demonstrating how food scraps can be composted directly on rural properties we demonstrate how to lessen agriculture’s impact on the wider environment.
City to Farm wants to make climate mitigation accessible so that anyone is able to be part of the solution!

"It’s a convenient, efficient, simple system that isn’t demanding of staff time, it’s no extra effort, we just have another bin. The cost is minimal and we have already diverted 5 tonnes of food scraps from landfill which is great considering we are a small business” - Nigel, Co-Owner and Chef at Two Spoons
