The Farm

It starts in the soil.

Regener8 Farm was founded by David and Leila Centner in November 2021. The café cooks with what the farm grows, and buys the rest from local farms working the same way.

Six growing systems

  • 01

    Market garden

    2.5 acres of no-till field beds.

  • 02

    Hydroponics

    NFT tables, grow towers and buckets.

  • 03

    Aquaponics

    Fish and plants sharing water and nutrients.

  • 04

    Orchard

    Over 12 varieties of tropical and sub-tropical fruit.

  • 05

    Laying hens

    Cage-free, on organic corn- and soy-free feed.

  • 06

    Bee hives

    Kept on the farm, among the beds they pollinate.

How it is farmed

  • No-till beds.
  • Composting.
  • Cover cropping between plantings.
  • No chemical pesticides or fertilisers.
  • Harvested days — sometimes hours — before delivery.
  • Compost teas on the hydroponic beds.
