Yardmill in Toorak is a participating eatery for GiveaFork
As you would have seen in my previous post, this month I am taking the #grexy challenge for Sustainable Table’s GiveAFork initiative which promotes a better and fairer food system.
Over 100 restaurants have come on board nationally and are featuring a GiveaFork special for the month. The specials are based on Sustain Table’s four food rules: 1) Make plants the hero, 2) Choose truly free range or organic meat or sustainable seafood, 3) Use at least one edible ingredient that commonly gets discarded in kitchens and celebrate it, 4) Know the provenance of the ingredients.
Here is a round up of some of our favourite Victorian eateries participating, with the GiveaFork special they’ve got on offer until April 30, 2016. When you order one of the GiveaFork specials at one of these venues, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Sustainable Table’s Education and Awareness Program.
