Kia Ora

Welcome to Spring or Koanga …….. when New Zealanders start to get outdoors, light up the barbie, and enjoy those longer evenings thanks to daylight saving.

The air is full of the scent blossoms and the promise of summer just around the corner

We can't wait for the first asparagus and strawberries that mark the new season. It is a time for healthy lighter foods like salads and spring vegetables, to accompany the grilled meats and fish for the barbie.
We make it easier for you to discover, buy and enjoy these and many other delicious artisan foods. At the same time we help the small artisan food producers across the country grow their business.
 Here at Kai, you can learn more about the artisans themselves - the people with the passion behind the produce. And learn more about the places our great food comes from – the many and varied regions of NZ. Our country has some incredible natural advantages in being able to grow, breed, and harvest a huge array of foods from the land, rivers and sea. We support organic but many traditional foods in New Zealand are also quite OK (just check that they are sustainably grown and produced).

We check our artisan suppliers to ensure that their food is grown, harvested and prepared as sustainably and ethically as possible. And we identify artisans and products that are Certified organic.

Artisan food producers are the small guys in a big world, but we are committed to help them…. and make it easy for you to support them. If there is an artisan food producer you would like us to get on Kai, let us know

Please tell your friends about us, and thanks for visiting and shopping at Kai

Food bundles to make it easy.....

If you can't make up your mind what to buy, or are looking for a gift for someone special, then these bundles of foods are worth checking out.

We have put together some rather tasty collections of artisan foods to help you fill the pantry. We have curated these collections from our range of over 400 fine artisan foods from more than 60 passionate artisan food makers.

Most of our artisans have been continued to grow and make their foods. Although some do run out of foods made from their seasonal produce, so please accept our apologise if your first choice is not available. We will always try and substitute with something of similar style and value.

Thank you, and stay well.
