Made North Canterbury

Made North Canterbury Discover what’s grown, made, reared and caught in North Canterbury. North Canterbury is an internationally renowned region for food and beverage.

Our region offers an abundant food basket with over 90 vineyards, beef/sheep/arable farms, forests rich with wild game, market gardens, truffières, apiaries, rivers and coastlines full of kaimoana (seafood). MADE NORTH CANTERBURY is a provenance initiative created by Enterprise North Canterbury to showcase local farmers, bakers, growers and makers. The distinctive MADE NORTH CANTERBURY mark can be

found only on members’ produce as a symbol to represent its origin, quality, authenticity and traceability.

Mel and Cam Booker, owners of Grown bring their fresh seasonal produce each week to both the Ohoka Farmers' Market and Amberley Farmers Market .

Clare Giffard, owner of Urban Revival and Three Streams Café, heads along to the Ohoka Market every Friday morning to handpick fresh produce directly from the stall. That produce then inspires her menus for the week keeping both cafés seasonal, local and full of flavour.

It’s a simple but powerful connection:
Grown locally → sold locally → cooked locally → served locally.

When growers and hospitality businesses stay connected like this, everyone benefits - from the people growing the food, to the chefs creating with it, to the customers enjoying it.

We’d love to see more eateries doing the same! Fresh food, real relationships and a stronger local food story.

📍 Ohoka Market - Every Friday morning 9am till 12.30pm at the Ohoka Domain.
📍 Amberley Farmers' Market - Every Saturday morning 9am till 12.30pm outside the Hurunui District Council buildings.

North Canterbury’s food and beverage sector is gaining national recognition with our very own Chief Executive Heather Warwick named among Aotearoa’s most inspirational women in food and drink for 2026 by Cuisine Magazine Magazine.

Over the past year, MADE NORTH CANTERBURY has expanded its network of producers and makers, strengthened storytelling around the region’s distinctive food basket and led campaigns including The North Course and the MADE NORTH CANTERBURY Pie Trail.

“This recognition is really about the producers, growers and makers who bring North Canterbury’s food story to life,” says Heather. “MADE NORTH CANTERBURY was created to elevate their work and showcase provenance and it’s an honour to see our region’s collective efforts acknowledged nationally.”

Congratulations to all the other talented woman profiled this year. See the full 2026 list here: https://www.cuisine.co.nz/aotearoa-new-zealands-top-50-most-influential-inspiring-women-in-food-drink-2026
