With a big focus on local sustainability and community, Evan is extremely respectful to the farmers from which he sources his coffee beans and acknowledges the life long dedication they have to their traditional farming history. The coffee Evan roasts is approachable, delicate and flavourful and has been our supplier for 4 years. We are very excited to watch this next journey Proximal has ahead, and welcome you to visit his roastery, located within our establishment.

Fresh menus, behind-the-scenes, and a lot of very good-looking food. Come say hi on Instagram.

In the early days Locavore dabbled in cooking classes, pop up pastry shops and sourdough, eventually moving into catering. From 2016, Locavore really made an impression in the Yarra Valley, quickly becoming the preferred catering group to service weddings & wine events. In 2018, Locavore took the plunge into opening the eatery and providore, providing the community with all aspects of food and beverage offering.
