Would you live in Toi Toi?

Amy Ridout Reporter from The Nelson Mail

But Connor says the Nelson South suburb is the perfect place to raise a family.

A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

We are well on our way to our target of $75,000 by the end of the year, but we are not there yet. The needs of horses and farm maintenance are a constant financial demand while recent riding income has been patchy at best, we still need lots of help to get to our target. If you can, please keep on supporting us, our Givealittle page is the easiest way to do that.
