In the first-ever product launch enabled by OzHarvest Ventures, indigenous-owned Kakadu Kitchen in collaboration with OzHarvest is releasing this limited ‘Conscious Drink.’ Crafted by a purpose-driven team including Ben Tyler of Kakadu Kitchen and Tim Triggs of ALTD Spirits alongside OzHarvest, this drink celebrates the beauty of natural rescued or foraged Australian fruits and botanicals through a premium bespoke alcohol-free blend.

Conscious Drink was awarded the 2024 The Hive GameChanger Award by Food and Drink Business. This category is for the company that embodies new ideas, innovations, and practices for the benefit of future food systems.

This Conscious Drink offers social impact, diverting beautiful blueberries sourced from Oz Group Co-Op Northern NSW away from landfill whilst supporting First Nations in the Australian bush food industry, and Kakadu’s emerging Bininj artist Trentin Rasmussen for his front label artwork. Proceeds from each bottle will help two people in need via OzHarvest and every case sold will enable one edible native seedling to be planted in remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory.

Impact beyond a bottle…

Buying this product supports these organisations.

OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation with a driving purpose to ‘Nourish our Country’ by stopping good food from going waste and delivering it to charities, at no cost, that support people in need.

To address the increasing demand for food relief we expanded our food rescue operations to Northern Territory, delivering fresh fruit, vegetables and quality produce to Indigenous communities in both the Kakadu and Darwin regions. To support OzHarvest NT food relief contact: nt.info@ozharvest.org

Kakadu Kitchen has a vision to build a vertical farm where native bush botanicals continue to grow and flourish on Country, where livelihoods can stay on Country, where mob and future generations can connect to culture and learn about the healing properties and medicinal qualities of our ancient plants that have nourished our people for more than 70,000 years. The plant contributions from Conscious Drink will be directed towards this project as we build out this vision over the next ten years and beyond.

Skilfully blended with fresh fruit purity of blueberry flavours, framed by aromatic lemongrass, warm native pepper berry spices, and expertly balanced with salt bush and acidity – to produce a deliciously refreshing lightly sparkling beverage for the mindful and meaningful drinker. Enjoy chilled amongst all occasions of celebrating.
