The Bale by Country Co. is a locally owned café and catering business based in Hautapu. Founded by farmers, Country Co. began as a catering business and has grown to include a welcoming café, while we continue to farm alongside the business.
Our food is made from scratch with a strong focus on quality, flavour, and consistency. Catering remains at the heart of what we do, with tailored menus for corporate functions, meetings, weddings, events, and private gatherings. From shared platters and baking to full event catering, we pride ourselves on reliable service and well-made, homemade food.
In our café, we extend the same values — serving good coffee and using milk sourced from a local supplier, while supporting other local businesses where possible. At Country Co., our farming background shapes our approach: hardworking, practical, and committed to doing things well. Stop by for breaky or brunch, a cosy catch up or formal meeting - we have options to suit those on the run and as dine in.
Find us at 7 Parakiwai Road, Hautapu. Turn left down Hannon Road before the dairy factory and travel down the very end to turn right onto Parakiwai Road.
