Forage & Feast

Forage & Feast Forage and Feast is about meeting, foraging, exploring and eating. Forage & Feast is a celebration of food, and our food is a celebration of our people.

We bring people together to sample locally grown and produced food and award-winning Central Otago artisanal products. Behind the local food, home-grown food, wild food and fresh food lie the unique stories of our people. Our mission is to share our local food stories with our guests -be they local or from far away shores. Our local food stories are rich with flavour, but the characters bring the colour. The local food industry is mindful; one eye on global food issues encourages smart, home-grown practices. Focusing on sustainability, biodiversity and traceable food systems, and producing wholesome, organic, nourishing food is our collective passion.

It is with sadness that we have to announce we have made the difficult decision to close down operations permanently. We have tried over the years many ideas and strategies to grow the business, but the reality is, despite all our guests raving about their time with us and many saying their day with us was a highlight of their NZ trip, we simply were not getting enough bookings to sustain the business. It has been a very tough decision as I have poured my heart and soul (and countless unpaid hours and personal funds) into this project. I am hugely passionate about what Forage & Feast is, but simply i cannot financially continue to support it. Thank you to all our guests over the years and especially our amazing partners, without whom, we would not have been able to create amazing memories. In no particular order (and i apologise if i have forgotten anyone), a huge thank you ; Tiaki Bees Pirate Pickles of Wanaka, NZ The People's Bread Co. Frog Song Farm Pembroke Pรขtisserie Wild Things Produce Harvest Homegrown Wฤnaka Lavender Farm Hook Wanaka - Lake to Plate Paddons Paddock The Camp Lake Hawea Red Bridge Berries Alpine Fresh b.effect brewing company Wise Moon Wellness The Butcher's Block & Smokehouse Wanaka - without you all opening your homes, businesses, and sharing your time and knowledge, Forage & Feast would never have started. We all share a huge passion for our local food eco system and Forage & Feast aimed to share that with locals and visitors alike. Thank you, thank you, thank you ..... Who knows, one day this may return.... until then, continue to make amazing products, produce and experiences. You guys rock ๐Ÿ˜
