Costs are being squeezed across the board β and hospitality is feeling it from every direction.
Both farming and hospitality run on the same thing: passion, hard work, and neither is getting any easier. The reality is, they're more connected than most people realise. Without the growers and farmers behind every ingredient, there's no menu to design in the first place.
When white asparagus lands the first week of September, that's when it lands on the plate β not before. What's not always visible is the cost behind it: years of precision, weather that can wreck a season overnight, freight from as far as Tasmania to get it here fresh.
The answer isn't pulling apart under pressure. It's working closer together β growers and restaurants, supporting each other through it.
