At The Wilderness Chef we believe in living life in the most sustainable manner, for the environment, for ourselves, and for those around us. 

Sustainability is a core value in our catering operation, and we are committed to minimising our environmental impact. We prioritise sourcing local and seasonal produce, supporting local farmers and reducing carbon emissions associated with transportation. Our current practices include partnering with local suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable farming and ethical sourcing.

We are continually exploring new ways to integrate sustainability into our operations such as implementing composting programs and our utilisation of eco-friendly packaging options.
