Local Spotlight
dunedin craft distillers
Dunedin Craft Distillers is the first distillery in Aotearoa and one of only a handful worldwide, to produce botanical spirits from surplus bakery products that would otherwise go to landfill.
It all began in 2019 with a rant over coffee between friends about the thousands of tonnes of bakery products ending up in landfill across New Zealand each year.
The question arose, โCould we make alcohol from bread?โ.
Jenny McDonald and Sue Stockwell are the team behind Dunedin Craft Distillers and Bastien Gallo joined our team in 2022 as chief mash stirrer and front-of-house specialist. He has introduced popular European digestives to our range and is now learning the craft of distillation.
We share a sense of humour, a care for the environment and a reluctance to let anything go to waste - qualities which underpin every decision we make in our quest to mitigate the environmental cost of bread and bakery products going to landfill.
Eiderdown
Locally Made Comfort Since 1972
Thereโs something pretty special about sleeping under bedding thatโs been made right here in ลtepoti Dunedin.
Eiderdown has been crafting premium duvets, pillows, and bedding for over 50 years and they are still proudly a small New Zealand business keeping things local.
Based in Mosgiel, Eiderdown is run by a small team of just seven people who manage everything from sourcing natural materials to hand-finishing products and getting them packed and sent out the door. Keeping things small means they can focus on quality over quantity, putting real care into every detail.
