Candy |

After overcoming various challenges, they developed a shelf-stable packaging for their candy floss, allowing for easier scaling of their business. Mili joined Mickey later, and together they run the business, focusing on creating enjoyable candy floss experiences for their customers. |

Vince

Food |
In 2009, at six months of age, our beautiful daughter stopped thriving and developed skin and stomach issues leading to sleepless nights and much heartache. After two years of specialists, medications and every cream you could imagine, we adjusted to a plant-based lifestyle. After three weeks, most of her symptoms vanished, and our little girl is now a thriving athletic teen who loves surfing and rep football. During my 20+ year culinary journey as a chef, I have seen first-hand the positive impact increasing our veggie intake has had on our health, from struggling through the day to having more energy for my children and work, and I want to share that with everyone. My promise is real food, lovingly crafted into an easy and delicious meal base, no fillers, no preservatives, no nasties, from our family's kitchen to yours. If we wouldn’t feed it to our family we wouldn’t expect you to feed it to yours, no compromise. |

Apostle Hot Sauce

Food & Beverage |
Apostle is a small team of three, Mat, Lydia and their dog Ben. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an attempt to get to know their community better, they started selling them at their local market in Paekākāriki. With an overwhelmingly positive response, they decided to do more. With Lydia’s background in graphic design and their shared love of great food, they thought this would be a wonderful way to utilise their individual skills and passions to create something beautiful together. They draw inspiration for their flavours from the diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa, blending the best of local flavours to make every dish enjoyable. Heavily inspired by Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish Illuminated Manuscripts and Tarot de Marseilles, each bottle and its contents are considered a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your plate. |

Inspired to make Morningside a better place to live, and by the love of a cheeky pun, The Cider Barons & Baroness decided to make what some consider to be the most bad-ass cider in the land. Coming from the neighbourhood that always looks on the bright cider life, we’ve found the in-cider information on juicing those local apples into something very a-peel-ing. From cheeky puns right through to our tasty drops, THIS IS HOW WE LIKE DEM APPLES. |

Zangria
 |
Beverages |
Having spent a fair few summers in the vines and cellars of Marlborough, we decided it was time to challenge what NZ wine could be. Made with wine that's crafted right here in Aotearoa, and blended with fruit juice picked by those who know their apples from their oranges - Zangria is a refreshing blend crafted with a whole lotta soul. Thanks for being part of the journey! When less is often seen as more, Zangria has decided to bring back one key ingredient - SOUL. It's in everything that we do - from the care of every grapevine, to the selection of real fruit juice in every sip. It's the sore cheeks after a night of laughs, or the celebration after a job well done. It's never perfectly manicured or polished but it's the most important ingredient for life well lived. |
