A Farm-to-Plate experience at Zestiny Farm

​Join us for a fully carbon-neutral food and agriculture immersion designed exclusively for Climate Action Week Sydney. Departing from the Sydney CBD aboard a private electric bus, you’ll journey to the breathtaking Central Coast hinterland for a hands-on experience that connects climate action directly to the soil and your plate.

​Hosted by Zestiny Farm co-founder Creel Price (Founder of Greenhouse, Australia’s largest climate action hub) and acclaimed vegan chef Elijah Attard, this is more than a farm tour. It’s a practical, inspiring and delicious exploration of how regenerative agriculture and conscious cooking can reshape our climate future.

​YOUR SIX-PART CLIMATE AND FOOD JOURNEY

​1. Transport

​Meet at Greenhouse at 9:45am (180 George Street, Sydney CBD) and connect with fellow climate-conscious food lovers before boarding our electric bus at 10:00am.

​During the scenic one-hour journey north, Elijah will share stories from his experience as a chef and forager — exploring the intersection of hospitality, ingredients and sustainability.

​2. Farm Talk

​At Zestiny Farm (138 George Downes Drive, Central Mangrove NSW), Creel will share the story behind the transformation of a 50-acre property into a certified organic and regenerative enterprise.

​You’ll learn:

• ​How nutrient-dense farming supports climate resilience

• ​The link between soil health and human health

• ​The seven habits of a high-nutrient diet

​4. Pick

​Along the way, you’ll hand-pick seasonal produce straight from the field - ingredients you’ll soon transform in your cooking session.

​Few experiences reconnect you to food quite like harvesting it yourself.

​5. Cook
