Locally sourced. Farm fresh. Full of flavour.
Situated in rural Te Awamutu, Native Nest showcases local ingredients and seasonal produce. From lovingly baked treats to hearty shared feasts, we provide bespoke catering using time-honoured recipes. Whether you’re planning a family celebration, a retreat or want some baked treats, we tailor each menu to suit your needs.
As proud dairy farmers and passionate cooks, we bring you vibrant, wholesome catering inspired by simple ingredients, and crafted with care. We believe that sharing food together deepens connections, along with nourishing the body.
Combined with a selection of baked goods, both sweet and savoury, there’s an abundance of options to choose from – or we can customise something just for you.
Working with Liora is fantastic! She’s truly focused on what’s best for our business and consistently helps us identify and seize growth opportunities. She is collaborative, creative and experienced. We’re absolutely delighted with the brand development process and our new website—Liora is a true professional.

The Vision
At its core, Native Nest is about hospitality that feels genuine. Food becomes the vehicle for what they do best: bringing people together. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a larger event, their menus are crafted with care and intention, celebrating local ingredients and seasonal flavours.
Their vision is to keep things simple, soulful, and rooted in the land, sharing kai that not only nourishes but also creates lasting memories.
The Work We Created Together
When Native Nest partnered with The Little Acre, their story was already rich with passion. Our role was to shape that story visually, giving them the tools to showcase their catering services with confidence.
Brand identity that reflects warmth, nature, and hospitality.
Website design that feels approachable, clear, and aligned with their values
Marketing collateral to communicate their catering offering, while leaving room for growth if new opportunities arise.
The result is a brand that looks as good as their food tastes - professional and deeply authentic.
Looking Ahead
For now, Native Nest’s focus is firmly on catering, and the journey is only just beginning. As the business grows, the brand we’ve created together has the flexibility to adapt, expand, and evolve with them.
At The Little Acre, we’re proud to have supported Native Nest in shaping a story that feels both true to who they are today and full of possibility for tomorrow.
