A story grounded in New Zealand and experience
Over 40 years in the deer industry, shaping a considered approach to natural supplementation.
How it started
Hawker Velvet is a family-owned business based in New Zealand’s South Island. For over 40 years, deer have been part of our family’s livelihood.
What began as sheep and beef farming evolved into large-scale deer farming in Central Otago. Over time, we developed a deep understanding of breeding, animal care, and the processes involved in harvesting velvet.
That hands-on experience continues to shape everything we do today.
Where we are now
Today, we work closely with trusted farmers across New Zealand, sourcing high-quality deer velvet while focusing on creating finished products for everyday use.
Our background in farming gives us a clear understanding of the care, time, and consistency required at every stage—from source through to formulation.
Hawker Velvet was created to make this experience more accessible, bringing a traditionally used ingredient into a modern, considered format.
Our approach
We take a simple approach to what we create.
Each product is formulated with deer velvet and complementary ingredients, with a focus on quality, consistency, and ease of use. Everything is produced in New Zealand and handled with care from sourcing through to delivery.
Rather than overcomplicating things, we aim to create products that can be easily included in your daily routine.
