Why Shopping Local is the Real Cookie Crumb Trail 🍪
If the last couple of years have taught us anything, it’s that shopping local matters more than ever. When you choose NZ-made products, you're doing more than just making a purchase — you're investing in your community and backing our local economy.
And hey, if you're nibbling on a Molly Woppy cookie while doing it? Even better.
This isn’t just a trend…
Buying NZ Made might feel like the new buzz, but it's actually been around since 1988 — and even earlier if you count the New Zealand Industries Week all the way back in 1908!
Check out this nostalgic video from Buy NZ Made for a sweet slice of history.
So, why shop local?
Shopping locally isn’t just about proximity — it’s about connection.
When you buy from a local business, you:
- Support your neighbours and help build strong, resilient communities
- Encourage local job creation and fair working conditions
- Keep profits circulating in Aotearoa
- Get more transparency on where your food and ingredients come from
- Help small businesses (like ours!) keep doing what they love
Plus, there’s just something special about knowing your cookies weren’t shipped across the world, but baked right here with love 💛
"Every time you spend money you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want."
— Anna Lappe

So next time you’re picking up something sweet, why not go NZ-made?
Support your local coffee shop, pick up artisan bread, swing by the farmers market – or of course, grab yourself a box of Molly Woppy cookies.
