through food

For the Love of Bees is a not-for-profit trust focused on teaching biology-first regenerative horticulture

We are committed to offering an educational pathway for growers and advocates that nutures their capacities to use food production to heal the landscapes where they live and work.

In the face of biodiversity loss and the climate crisis we work to inspire change in our food system; helping growers produce food that is safe for our pollinators, our people and our planet

Coming Up

Earthworkers Hort 101

24-28th March 2025 Kirikiriroa/Hamilton

Join us for a transformative 5-day course hosted across three biology-first regenerative farms in the Waikato, managed by Earthworker Alumni.

Earthworkers provides a comprehensive educational pathway that empowers growers to master soil health principles by achieving a harmonious balance between minerals and microbes.

Guided by the latest soil science that aligns with and takes its cue from nature, this course is designed to support professional growers, passionate home gardeners, urban farmers and environmental advocates who are interested in the power of biology to cultivate resilience both economically and ecologically.

This course comes with post course online mentoring within a peer-to-peer network to connect you to an optimistic and likeminded community of growers.

Communities of Regenerative Learning

In November 2023 we launched a learning network for six regenerative community-connected farms across Auckland City.
The participating spaces all share the goal of growing abundant & nutritious food with methods that mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.

OMG

Organic Market Garden

OMG was initiated and run by For The Love Of Bees from 2018-2024, located at 257 Symonds Street in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland.

It functioned as a model biology-first regenerative urban farm designed to inspire and educated the next generation of urban farmers to use food production to heal the landscapes where we live and work.

It has now been integrated into a larger project run and managed by the FTLOB original head farmer and Earthworker Alumni.

Fieldays TV

In 2021 the team from Fieldays TV created this short documentary about our model urban farm OMG (Organic Market Garden).

We believe that people have the power to address some of the most pressing challenges we face.

The threat of climate change, food security, health inequity, and ecosystem damage can be tackled with biology-first regenerative horticultural practices that are better for our pollinators, people and planet.
