Taste Aotearoa – Otago Farmers Market Experience.

On the 2nd of August, the team behind the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) business Taste Aotearoa - CEO Flynn MacGill-Brown, Production Manager Matthew Glover, and Communications Manager Kevin Chen- brought their unique seasoning blend to the Otago Farmers Market, aiming to connect with their target market and engage directly with the local community.

It was an early start, with the team on-site and set up by 7:30 am, braving the winter chill under the school gazebo for shelter. Armed with eye-catching posters and plenty of enthusiasm, they shared their stall space with fellow YES business Rhythm Periodcare, creating a vibrant and collaborative atmosphere.

Throughout the morning, the team had a fantastic time engaging with marketgoers, receiving great feedback and plenty of interest in their product. The community response was overwhelmingly positive, making the experience both valuable and rewarding.

As the morning progressed, however, Dunedin’s famously unpredictable weather began to turn - the wind picked up and rain began to fall. With plenty of successful sales and conversations under their belt, the team packed down and headed home feeling satisfied.

A huge thank you to the Otago Farmers Market for the opportunity - we hope to return again soon!
