Some areas of our research are definitely more fun than others! We had a blast sinking our teeth into this one. Southland has some of the tastiest food stories and so many delicious tales to tell… 🤩🌯🥘🦪🍺🍷🫶

It's not just about food p**n | Naked Creative It’s not just the taste; it’s the tales – Southland is a food haven with stories as rich as its flavours. From farms to funky food innovators, Southland's got it all!

We LOVE to share the awesomeness and great things happening in the South on The Life page – so this belongs here. And on our Naked Creative page, we love to show off our work (and we loved working on this), so it sort of belongs there too. But actually, we think this is super cool for Southland, and we are stoked to play a small part in the housewarming for our taonga Henry and his pals 🦎💚🏠

Such an incredible asset for our community! Congratulations to everybody involved! 🥂

Did you see this? 👀🥕

Here in Southland, we especially love two things - storytelling and food! The team at Naked Creative have been working with So Sweet to help share their story… the produce, the people, the place! We’re all over it 🤤

You or someone you know have a great food story you’d love to tell? Flick us a message or email us at [email protected]

Who loses a banner?? Apparently we do (by we, we mean Carla). She goes around and chats at various places and we think she has a bit too much post-chat celebrations and somehow now we have banners all over the place 🤔

Here’s our newest banner, which Carla is not allowed to be responsible for 👏🥂☺️
