An Unforgettable Feast with a Purpose

Join us for a celebration of food, sustainability, and creativity with the Green Plate Experience. 

Hosted at the iconic Odessa @ Leaver’s Hotel, this special dinner will showcase seasonal local ingredients and perfectly good ‘rescued’ produce—transforming them into a delicious three-course menu that’s all about flavour, community, and reducing waste.

What’s on the Menu?

Our talented chefs, in collaboration with Happy Scraps, will craft a feast that highlights fresh, seasonal, and rescued produce, sourced from some of Creswick’s most sustainable farms:

🥩 Jonai Farms – Pasture-raised, ethically farmed meats
🥕 Tumpinyeri Growers & Mt Prospect Farm – Fresh, organic vegetables
🌿 Mt Prospect Farm - organically grown vegetables from the fertile soil of Mount Prospect

🌟 More local producers are joining soon! If your business is interested in being involved, contact us today.

Why Rescued? Why Local?

Every year, many tonnes of perfectly good food go to waste. This event is about rethinking waste, celebrating local farmers, and proving that sustainable dining is both delicious and inspiring.

Expect amazing flavours, great company, and a dining experience with heart—one that supports local farmers and champions a more sustainable food system.
