Our story

I am Marine, the driving force behind Nomad Wholefoods, a heartfelt journey of passion, dedication, and a deep love for our planet. As a French migrant who found her true home in the serene landscapes of New Zealand, I live in the charming village of Little River with my husband and our two precious children, Maelys and Lynx.

My journey with Nomad Wholefoods began as a response to the alarming impact of plastic waste on our environment. Fueled by a desire to make a difference, I took a bold step, trading my car for a cabin on wheels to kickstart this meaningful venture. In January 2023, with butterflies in my stomach and hope in my heart, I opened our doors to the community, offering just 15 products displayed on humble folding tables. It was a modest beginning, but it marked the start of something beautiful.

Now that a year has passed, what started as a small endeavor became a testament to the power of one person's determination to enact positive change. With over 250 thoughtfully curated products, our store continues to evolve, driven by a passion for a better tomorrow.

But this journey is far from over, as I'm filled with excitement for the chapters yet to unfold. Nomad Wholefoods isn't just a business to me—it's a reflection of my values, my dreams, and my unwavering commitment to the planet we call home.

So, as we embark on this journey together, I invite you to join me in the fight against plastic waste. Together, let's make a difference, one sustainable choice at a time.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible adventure.
