Food Destination: Mingara
They say “Life’s Great” at Mingara Recreation Club, and this sentiment certainly rings true for the thousands of locals and visitors who frequent it. Now, hear how the Club is setting out to deliver world-class food and beverage by using local suppliers.
Tip: What Does it Mean to Eat Ethically?
Local produce doesn’t just taste better - it’s setting us up for a better future. To help you make ethical food choices, try asking yourself some questions, like: Where did this food originally come from, and how is its packaging affecting our local environment?
Finding the answers isn’t easy, but changing where and how you shop is always a good place to start.
