Mad Millie

Mad Millie is a Kiwi brand inspiring creativity in the kitchen with easy-to-use DIY food and drink kits. Founded in Wellington by a group of passionate makers, Mad Millie brings the joy of crafting your own cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, and other fermented favourites to homes across the world. Designed for simplicity and fun, their kits make it easy to reconnect with real food, reduce waste and enjoy something delicious that you’ve made yourself.

Crafting connection through food

Mad Millie began in Wellington nearly a decade ago with a simple idea: to make cheese at home that tasted as good as what you’d find at a farmers market. From that small experiment grew a movement dedicated to helping people rediscover the joy of making food from scratch.

Simple, fun & creative

Whether you’re making yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut or vegan cheese, Mad Millie kits make it easy to create your own fresh, flavourful food at home. Each kit includes everything you need to get started, turning everyday ingredients into something truly special. Perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike, Mad Millie brings fun and satisfaction to your kitchen while encouraging mindful, hands-on living.

Sustainable by nature

The brand continues to evolve with improved packaging and responsible production practices, always staying true to its roots of community, curiosity and craftsmanship.
