About Homeland
Homeland promotes food and producers from Aotearoa and the Pacific
Much of the world’s best food comes from here. We do everything to promote powerful, tradeable, sustainable kai.

Peter has spent over 30 years putting New Zealand ingredients on the world stage. Now he and his partner Alastair have built a food embassy to support New Zealand producers, teach people to cook, buy local, and share recipes from their homelands – and tell trade stories to the world.

Homeland is a cooking school. Homeland is a dining room. Homeland is an innovation hub. Homeland is a connector of communities.

Homeland is an edible billboard for great food.

Our Kaupapa
Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi
With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive
Key Partners

The creation of Homeland would not have been possible without our key partners who support the development of New Zealand cuisine and produce, and understood exactly what we wanted to achieve from the start. We are eternally grateful to have them as part of our Homeland whanau.
