We operate from boutique facilities on our family farm, where our product is meticulously handled by our small and dedicated team.

We are committed to providing healthy, natural and safe food products and to healthy living wherever you are.

 

Our Vision

Kāre was developed with the intention of sharing the benefits of the healthy food produced here in New Zealand. We live in rural New Zealand and are lucky enough to produce and have access to food that keeps us naturally healthy.  We believe that having access to quality nutritional food should be a fundamental right of all people. Many consumers are becoming concerned about the safety of their food – they want to know where and how their food has been produced, and what environmental & social factors have impacted on the safety and health of it. In New Zealand we are in a unique position to be able to produce and source food that is grown naturally, providing optimum goodness and natural health benefits. At Kāre we pride ourselves in knowing the history of our food, and we can share this story with you.
