22.01.2022 One of Canberra's favourite bakeries, Three Mills, made pivoting into an art form during covid. Going from strength to strength, and bringing local suppliers with it, the business is a food success story that shows how innovative thinking, staying on trend, and working with local producers is a win / win combination. Their second installment is now open in Fyshwick, and will be part of the Food in the Capital peri-urban tour on May 19th. Limited tickets are still available. buff.ly/2ULCCdQ #threemills #bakery #foodinnovation #agrifood #foodinthecapital #buylocal #enterprise

18.01.2022 If food waste is in an issue you want to address in your business, you won't want to miss our panel on food waste at #foodinthecapital this May. Facilitated by Olympia Yaeger, it showcases a number of thought provoking businesses who tell their story and discuss opportunities. One of our guest speakers is Henrique Turra, from @RaddishEvents. Radish Events is an Ethical Event Caterer in Sydney, on a mission to deliver boldly delicious food with a zero-waste mindset. They belie...ve business is a force for good, and are the first BCorp caterer in Australia. This means they are committed to doing things differently, thinking creatively and finding more responsible ways to deliver their service. Waste is a big issue in the food industry, so they decided to tackle their waste streams one by one, and reduce / reuse / recycle them down to the last bit (zero waste to landfill is their goal). Tickets are still available to hear their story and gain some valuable insights into how you can easily increase your waste minimisation strategy.

14.01.2022 Food is showing itself to be enormously versatile in combating employability, mental health and inclusion challenges. We’ve seen unique partnerships between social enterprises and large companies. Companies doing one off support of causes or issues don’t cut it with consumers. They are sophisticated and now expect companies to lead with purpose, deeply embedding social and environmental impact into everything they do. Join us at #foodinthecapital for a Profit for Purpose Mast...erclass, with expert panelists exploring how local food businesses can tap into purpose driven branding to increase sales and at the same time give back to society or various social causes.
