Through partnership, the Kāpiti Coast food and beverage sector is nationally renowned for high quality, sustainable and premium production.
The industry is naturally collaborative, collegial, visible, and focused on meeting the shifting demands of consumers. Providing a unique opportunity to build upon its heritage, skills, and creativity to deliver a coastal food and culinary wonderland.
The sector has a well-established Cluster group that is a collaborative response to artisanal and entrepreneurial appetite to develop innovative products, create and share resources, and build unique destination-based hospitality experiences.
The sector has a strong interest in working together to unlock further market success and growth and has developed an industry led game plan that will support that future growth.
Together we can grow a food and beverage sector that is sustainable, productive, and economically beneficial for the people and the land. Maintaining our competitiveness through the sharing of skills, labour, space and infrastructure to grow profitably, are vital for achieving our vision.
“The cluster allows us to connect with producers we would not have had a chance to meet before.”
- Lottie and Bran, Funk with Food
The Food and Beverage cluster group was established to connect, engage and inspire Kāpiti Food and Beverage operators to collaborate and strengthen the entrepreneurial spirit of this unique group.
Being a cluster member means you will be invited to regular networking events, capability building workshops, opportunities for shared storytelling and marketing and have access to communication channels to allow for better business collaboration.
The cluster is all about celebrating local brands that have their heart in the region’s increasingly innovative and potentially experiential food bowl.
Join the Food and Beverage Cluster and connect with like-minded businesses.
