About

Taste Nature is an organic supermarket and deli at 131 High Street in central Dunedin, owned by Clinton Chambers and Rodney McDonald. Alongside the shop there is a 100% gluten-free café, an on-site herbal dispensary staffed by naturopaths, and an integrative health clinic with practitioners including an osteopath and massage therapists. Much of the café's produce is grown at the Taste Nature certified organic gardens at Waitati, and organic produce boxes are delivered around Dunedin or couriered across the South Island. The business is built around the Te whare tapa whā model of wellbeing and runs a social enterprise registered as a charitable trust.
