Gobble gobble your turkey wisely this Christmas + beyond
Turkey isn’t a regular menu item for many Australians until the festive season hits, so surely they’re raised outdoors in fields just like the Christmas advertisements suggest? [...]
How to spark change amongst your peers
If there’s one thing this pandemic and subsequent eruption of much-needed dialogue around race and privilege has taught us, is that just because you are mates, or indeed family, doesn’t mean you share the same philosophies, concern for the future or approach to life. It is an area that has come up time-and-time again here [...]
Humans behind our food – Clare Burder
We’re thrilled to commence #HumansBehindOurFood – a series that brings-to-life the incredible effort, sacrifice, persistence, joy and humour it takes to grow, produce and serve ethical, regenerative and bloody good food and drink. Food is a mighty connector – how we grow and consume it is intricately and inextricably connected to the health of our [...]

I’ve also expanded the list of things we can do to make a positive difference, which also includes a fabulous reference for how to #VoteClimate in your electorate if you're heading to the polling booths [...]
In celebration of women – part one : Lauren Mathers
Lauren, pictured with her husband Lachlan and three children. Picture an Aussie farmer. An image of a man clad in flannel likely popped into your head. That's understandable; in 2011 72% of farmers in Australia were in fact men. It's interesting to note, however, that alongside this staggeringly lopsided statistic is this little [...]
Corn on the cob cured me
It’s been a while between blog posts... to be honest I kind of ran out of things to say toward the end 2018. My mojo took a one-way ticket to a tropical island and forgot to tell me where to find it. Long story short, I got an overwhelming case of “we’re F&%ed, so why bother” [...]

At the risk of making sweeping generalisations, it does appear that men are far more affronted by the prospect of removing meat from their diet, even for a day or heaven help us a whole week. With Meat Free Week just around the corner we sought out a ‘good Aussie bloke’ who has dramatically reduced his meat [...]
It’s not meat. It’s you.
Meat Free Week is just around the corner, running from 24th-30th September, and it turns out that going meat free, even for a week, is a pretty polarising topic. People seem to either be veg or vegan and out and proud, or somewhat threatened by the prospect. We're here to show you that it doesn't [...]
