25 years ago, a family embarked on a journey of environmental sustainability with the genesis of The Adventure Farm, offering consumers immersive culinary experiences harvested directly from their circular production unit. On 25th April 2024, guests were invited to this establishment in collaboration with Tanqueray 10 Gin to explore the concept of farm to fork and seed to sip with an emphasis on the use of botanicals in celebration of Earth Day.
A tour of the establishment kicked off proceedings after guests engaged in conversation over a glass of their preferred juice offered upon entry. The farm-teaming with life from friendly geese to grapevines-captivated the guests, showcasing a commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement. A locally trained guide was on hand to take attendees through their recycling processes that ensured the effective use of resources while spotlighting the need for sustainable farming practices such as intercropping and irrigation. Thereafter, they made their way to the rustic themed restaurant for an evening of environmental education, culinary exploration and Tanqueray 10 cocktails.
The panel discussions moderated by Maryanne Mwaniki carried out conversations on renewable energy, inclusivity in the value chain and the use of botanicals in crafting the Tanqueray 10 Gin- A special gin made from fresh fruits and herbs creating a symphony of unmistakable flavour. Guests were treated to a sumptuous three course meal as they crafted their very own cocktails with ingredients harvested straight from the Adventure farm. The five senses were fully engaged throughout the evening as attendees further refined their palates amidst the calming sounds of Jazz and the soothing scent of farm fresh botanicals. One was then at liberty to leave at their leisure, having filled their appetite for what was truly an immersive culinary experience.
This experience served as a catalyst for inspiring sustainable practices within the culinary and beverage sector with the involvement of community being key. Tanqueray Gin continue to showcase their commitment to environmental sustainability by forging direct relationships with farmers and supporting regenerative agricultural initiatives. This ensures the integrity of its ingredients while contributing to the preservation of natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
