Through the zucchini flower’s journey, we see how fresh produce is both flavourful and beautiful in its natural form. In each venue’s take on the zucchini flower, you’ll taste the enhancing signature of each head chef’s cooking, combined with Matt Moran’s passion for local produce.

We are a picturesque regenerative 1000-acre farm in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, using ethical and sustainable farming methods to produce grass-fed beef and lamb and free-range pork. Matt is a true fourth generation farmer, with a rural upbringing on a classic Aussie dairy farm. He now owns and runs Moran Family Farm with his farm manger Brendan, which supplies beef, lamb and pork to his restaurants.

Two Providores exclusively sources local, Australian artisanal produce, with a particular emphasis on endorsing producers committed to sustainable, ethical, and environmentally conscious farming and production methods. The range encompasses regionally crafted cheese, charcuterie, and complementary items, and a profound commitment to excellence and quality.

Sonoma offers a diverse selection of artisanal baked products, spanning from classic sourdough loaves to irresistible pastries, all crafted locally. Made from a combination of sustainably milled flours, derived exclusively from grains bearing sustainable certifications, acquired from farmers dedicated to soil well-being. Sonoma’s farmers employ practices that prioritise soil enhancement and solely rely on natural inputs, resulting in an enduring ecological equilibrium for the cultivated land. Additional ingredients are procured from neighboring farmers and producers, underscoring their commitment to supporting local.

Pepe Saya’s artisanal butter is meticulously crafted from cream sourced from a local single origin. The process begins with the creation of crème fraiche, which is then skillfully churned into butter, yielding a valuable byproduct – buttermilk. Championing resource efficiency, they ensure that none of the ingredients go to waste, selling not only the butter itself but also the crème fraiche and buttermilk derived from their butter-making process.

Since 1954, PARISI has been revolutionising fresh produce. With a rich legacy of excellence, PARISI thrives as a versatile enterprise spanning wholesale, e-commerce, logistics, gifts, catering, and sustainable farming. By fostering close partnerships with local growers, PARISI ensures top-tier service and distinctive product offerings, and now proudly presents a special spring collection that mirrors the seasonal delights featured in Matt Moran's menus.

Merna's passion for cooking in Sydney's top restaurants led to the creation of Crumpets by Merna, where artisanal sourdough crumpets are made using locally sourced ingredients like Pepe Saya Buttermilk, Australian wholemeal flour, blueberries, and Olsson's sea salt. These small-batch fermented delights are a weekly delight at Carriageworks Farmers Markets, available for nationwide delivery, and are embraced by numerous cafes, restaurants, hotels, and airlines across Australia. 

Sommeliers at Solotel, a family-owned hospitality group, have ventured into winemaking, collaborating with top boutique wineries such as L.A.S Vino, Alpha Box & Dice, and Ravensworth to introduce an exclusive range of limited-edition wines. Spearheaded by Master of Wine and Solotel’s Group Beverage Manager, Annette Lacey, this innovative initiative tasked the sommeliers with crafting wines from interesting blends or varietals in classic regions with renowned producers. The resulting collection is now available at Solotel venues including Aria, Chiswick, Chophouse, North Bondi Fish, and Opera Bar, as well as select Solotel bottle shops. With offerings like an elegant Fiano, a vibrant Grenache, and even unconventional blends like meunier, dolcetto, and muscat, this collaboration brings a unique twist to the world of winemaking.
