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 [...]
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 [...]
image via here. Easter - the season of chocolate egg consumption - is here. Soon, children all over the country will be excitedly stomping on lovingly raised daisy beds to get their hands on the Easter Bunny's sweet givings. Yet while Easter brings chocolaty smiles to the faces of our kids, sadly this [...]
Co-founder, Cassie Duncan, offers a raw and deeply personal account of how she’s processing climate grief, whilst providing a practical pathway for channelling this panic into a climate-conscious way forward, for us all. In the days, weeks, months since our great nation started to burn alive, I have felt this deep, despairing pain. Like someone has [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
