An idea that was brought to life by two friends on the dance floor at a festival, sharing our love of Yerba Maté. We contemplated why there was a distinct lack of low sugar, non-alcoholic beverages that contained natural energy with real health benefits made with organic ingredients. We came to the realisation that not many people in Australia knew of the magical South American herb - Yerba Maté. So why not create a new type of energy drink to share with the Australian market. One that was all natural, organic, low sugar, naturally caffeinated, and most importantly, really tasty!! Our first mission: Find the best quality, sustainable and ethically sourced Organic Yerba Maté. Our next mission: To turn those amazing tea leaves into a tasty, natural energy drink with no added caffeine or horrible tasting sweeteners. We found that by cold brewing, we lock in all the nutrients and retain the high levels of caffeine from the Yerba Maté leaf. Though we had no idea of the mammoth task ahead of us. Countless trials and Yerba Maté down the drain, an exploding brewery and not to mention long COVID delays… All this to make the perfect energy drink. So here we are, 2 years later - We have an amazing range of ACO certified organic teas, Two sparkling organic Yerba Maté bevvies made from nothing but nature. We also teamed up with Rainforest Rescue to produce eco-friendly accessories and to help raise money and awareness about regenerating rainforests! |

Beef Organ Superfoods |
Nourishing nose-to-tail nutrition to support energy, immunity & vitality. Certified Grass-Fed & Finished. Beef organs are THE most concentrated source of just about every nutrient, including vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and essential amino acids. Beef organs are a primary source of Vitamin A, B vitamins and iron. In this article we dig deep into the benefits of beef organs. Ancestral Nutrition has chosen to source our beef organs from Australia's only island state that is over 300 km distant from the mainland and sits deep in the empty Southern Ocean. Isolation has preserved much of its heritage and given it a character which sets it apart from the other states. We’re dedicated to helping our customers live their best lives and believe that animal-based nose-to-tail nutrition is just one of the pillars required to take you there. Discover how the other pillars contained in the Primal Code can help you live a life full of vitality, strength, resilience and happiness. Ancestral Nutrition remembers that traditional peoples, indigenous groups and early ancestral healers knew that eating the organs (liver, heart and kidney) from a healthy animal would strengthen and support the health and immunity of the individual. Organs were a staple of our early ancestors' diets as the ultimate superfood, for good reason. It turns out, this nourishing tradition is backed by science. Ancestral Nutrition has carefully manufactured premium freeze dried beef organs to help you remember a stronger and healthier you. Ancestral Nutrition is dedicated to providing high-quality nutritional supplements that support a healthy lifestyle, inspired by ancestral dietary practices. |

Akasha Brewing
 |
Craft Beer |
After developing a passion for American-style, hop-forward beers, Dave Padden founded Akasha Brewing in 2015. From the outset, the mission for Akasha was simple: create high quality, hop-forward beers and aim to have as many people as possible experience them. With that in mind, Dave released Freshwater Pale Ale in April 2015 and introduced Akasha to the world. Popularity for that beer soared (and it remains Akasha’s most popular beer to this day) and by October of 2015, Dave and his relatively small team had built their very own brewery in Five Dock and soon after launched our first venue – the Akasha Taproom. The next few years saw Akasha continually grow and develop its reputation as one of the country’s top independent craft breweries. Midway through 2020 – a little over five years from that first brew – Akasha rebranded to show how the mighty hop watches over everything the brewery does. The new look, featuring an Illuminati inspired eye, aimed to reflect the almost spiritual component of drinking fantastic beer, while also capturing the brewery’s desire to open the doorway to great beer and let others inside. In 2022, Akasha reached another milestone in its history, undertaking a crowdfunding campaign which raised over $1.6 million. The purpose of this raise was to enable further expansion, increase our brand awareness and create our Inner Circle – a group of over 500 passionate Akasha fans turned shareholders who all subsequently became brand ambassadors. |

Cucina Classica

Ready Meals |
My father Francesco Cardone migrated to Australia from Pietrecina Italy. In 1970 my parents, Francesco and Marcella Cardone, started their first business as shopkeepers at Cardone’s Continental Deli. I was four years old and every week my father would take me with him when he went to the East End Fruit and Vegetable Markets, The Independent Grocers, and the local coffee roaster to collect the coffee to be sold in our shop. I loved following my father everywhere he went. I didn't realise that those visits would be the beginning of my life in the food and coffee industry. As I lived and worked in the shop through my youth, I developed a passion for Continental food, great coffee, and excellent customer service. When I was 18, I began working in Adelaide’s leading Italian food institution at the time. I was fortunate enough to be taken under the wing of some of Adelaide's legendary Restaurateurs and Chefs. From the wealth of this experience, I went on to co-create the following Cafes and Restaurants: Caon`s Restaurant, Grimaldi's, Scoozi Cafe Bar, Cibo Ristorante, 20 Cibo Espresso bars, The Apothecary, Joe's Henley Beach, Super Bueno and ultimately, Cucina Classica. Over this Journey I have taken time to create my secret sauce Please enjoy our Cucina Classica products which we too have the taken the time to cook for you. Italy Made in Australia. Mangiamo -Let’s eat! Son of Shopkeepers, Roberto Cardone. |

Oriana Nice Creamery
 |
Gelato |
In 2020, during the Covid lockdowns, founders Brad and Jess started making gelato in their home for their loved ones. They realized that there was a gap in the market for non-dairy options that not only tasted great but were also sustainable and environmentally conscious. Their vision was clear: to prove that plant based gelato made from coconut milk could surpass the taste and texture of traditional ice cream and gelato. What sets Oriana Nice Creamery apart is not only its plant-based nature but also its commitment to exquisite taste. We believe that a scoop of plant based gelato can embody both compassion and culinary excellence. |
