Our Fresh, Sustainable Future
The Benefits of Our Greenspace Microfarm
At Novotel Sydney Darling Square, we're thrilled to announce a new partnership with Greenspace, bringing a revolutionary microfarm right here to our hotel! We're committed to providing you with the freshest, most nutritious produce possible, harvested just steps away from our kitchen.This isn't just about delicious food; it's about a commitment to your well-being and the planet's health.
Our on-site microfarm provides a variety of benefits for our guests and the environment:
-
Peak Freshness & Flavor: We can now harvest our produce just moments before it's served to you. This means you get to experience the vibrant flavor and high nutritional value that's lost in traditional long-distance supply chains.
-
A Nutritious Boost: Our produce is nutrient-dense because it's grown and harvested at its peak. This means you'll be enjoying dishes packed with vitamins and minerals, helping to improve your wellness during your stay.
-
A Commitment to Sustainability: Greenspace microfarms use a fraction of the water and land compared to traditional farming methods. By growing our own produce, we significantly reduce our food miles (the distance food travels from farm to plate) which in turn lowers our carbon footprint.
-
No Nasties: Our produce is grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals, ensuring that what you're eating is pure, clean, and healthy.
This partnership is part of our ongoing dedication to sustainability, and we can't wait for you to taste the difference that fresh, local, and sustainable food makes.
