Sharon Mackay, strategy leader at city renewal project 5000+, who is working with government and the public to help renew inner-city Adelaide and make it an even better place to work and play.
“At our Green City forum, held at Adelaide Zoo, we set ourselves the task of feeding everyone only sustainable produce from within 100km of the city.
“It was difficult. Well-meaning issues around insurance and safety made it difficult to get carrots from the Adelaide hills and put them on the table.
“We discovered a series of blockages to growing food in public parklands and to sharing a meal. 5000+ is identifying and challenging these issues.
“At all of the forums we unlocked opportunities by bringing together people who have overlapping responsibilities, for example people from ETSA and those from the street tree program, who shared ideas about greening our city.”

Kanzi is a new variety of apple that was first grown in Europe, where it was developed from a natural cross between a Gala and a Braeburn apple. This particular cross has created an intensely flavoured apple with the juiciness of a Gala, and the tartness of a Braeburn.
Like Kanzi, the Greenstar apple was also developed by the European organisation Better 3 Fruits, from a natural cross between the Delbarestival and Granny Smith varieties, both of which are known for their juiciness and fresh taste.
Look out for apples with the Kanzi and Greenstar logos in your local retailer this autum.

Millions of dollars have gone into refurbishing one of Manly beach’s red-brick stalwarts, the Hotel Steyne.
The bar trades mostly in cider and rum, with 16 ciders on tap, 100 rums and a small collection of unremarkable wines and beers
My pick is the Hills apple ($5), a cider made by two mates from the Adelaide Hills without sugar, concentrate, water or added flavor. It’s clean, fresh and very simple, just what you want from a cider.

Kanmantoo Bacon & Quality Meats has been awarded third prize for its shortcut bacon in the National Bacon Awards for Excellence.
On the back of Australian Bacon Week, March 18-25, the local smallgoods producer was judged third overall on a variety of factors including appearance, aroma and taste.
The initiative is designed to encourage shoppers to buy Australian grown pork, with reports of more than 2.6 million kilograms of foreign pig meat arriving in the country each week.
Consumers are asked to look for the pink square PorkMark on bacon products – the only way to guarantee it is made using 100% Australian bacon.
Story from The Courier.
