Learning with the Common Unity whānau.

Come and look at what we do and learn about how we grow food and community together.

Whether you’re someone curious to know what goes on at the Remakery, a school or community group looking for inspiration, or a corporate or government agency looking for a community organisation to support, we’d love to hear from you.  See our options below.

Bookings are essential to ensure staff availability. Please fill in our google form to express interest in booking 4 weeks prior to your visit.

All proceeds from visits go to operational and administrative costs, we are a small registered charity. If your organization has capacity to pay more, please consider this, it makes a huge difference.

On the other hand, we know that not everyone can pay. If you’re unable to pay for a tour, but really want to see what we do, we encourage you to join one of our regular volunteer sessions.
