Coming together at Matariki time
Matariki is a time to gather, reflect, and share. While many of us want to participate, it can sometimes feel hard to know where to begin. But celebrating Matariki can be as simple as gathering the people you love around a warm table.
This year, we invite you to begin your Matariki journey with us. Let’s share the harvest, honor our connections to the land, and look forward to a bright year ahead.
The stars of Matariki
At the heart of Matariki is the sharing of kai. This winter, we celebrate four seasonal favorites that connect us back to the land, the sky, and the waters of Aotearoa—each guided by the stars above.
Something grown here
Under the watch of Tupuānuku, our Kūmara grows sweet in rich soils. Ready to be roasted, shared and made your own.
Add something sweet
Crisp apples, connected to Tupuārangi above. Ready to be baked into a pie or paired with sweet Kūmara.
From the waters to your table
Looked over by Waitā, fresh fish caught in the waters of NZ is the perfect addition to your Matariki feast.
The star of the meal
Raised in the Canterbury region, our fresh Woolworths Own free-farmed pork brings us back to the ground. The star of the meal, ready for a slow Matariki Roast.
