Farm

Kitchen Farm is a restaurant grounded in regenerative principles. We grow a focused range of produce ourselves, and work closely with a wider network of local growers, farmers and producers across the Adelaide Hills to bring the best of the region to the table.

Whether you're visiting for a meal, a tour or a seasonal collaboration, farm and produce experiences at Kitchen Farm happen in partnership with the growers behind them.

How are we operating?

Market Garden

Since 2024 we've been regenerating a market garden site within the Newenham transmission corridor, using no-till, spray-free practices to build healthier soil while growing a mix of perennial, seasonal, native and Mediterranean produce for our kitchen. It's one part of how we bring good food to the table, alongside a growing network of local farmers and producers across the Adelaide Hills, whose work we're proud to serve alongside our own.

Verge Program

Newenham supports biodiversity through its verge program, delivering abundantly planted streetscapes with a diverse range of species that attract beneficial birds and insects and build a healthy local ecosystem. Kitchen Farm is a proud contributor to this program, having designed and planted thousands of plants throughout Newenham's streets over the past two years. Beyond the ecological benefits, community verge planting creates a beautiful environment and fosters a real sense of community wellbeing.

Education

From time to time we host educational opportunities to help build our community's knowledge in natural farming, healthy cooking and gardening. This includes tours, talks from keynote speakers, workshops, school classes and educational collaborations.

Green Team

The Green Team was our foundation community collaboration program. The Green Team initiative was designed to enable Community Living Australia’s clients to participate in activities to maximise their engagement with community and learn important social and job-ready skills within a safe and productive work environment. Their contribution is invaluable and has been a win-win for farm and community. Having said this the program requires strong systems and is currently on hold whilst these systems and protocols are further developed to ensure the sustainable growth of the program.
