Every slice of their delicious artisan bread helps provide training and employment for people seeking refuge and asylum in Australia. 

Impossible™ Beef is the award-winning plant-based beef from Impossible Foods. It uses 91% less water, 92% less GHG emissions and 92% less land than beef from cows produced in Australia. Not only is it a far more sustainable alternative, Impossible™ Beef has 18.8g of protein per 113g serving and is a wonderful source of iron and delivers 100% of the taste and texture of minced beef from cows… it really is the meat of the future.
