what we do

A Common Ground is a collaboration between the guys from Gourmet Farmer; Matthew Evans, Ross O’Meara and Nick Haddow with the artisan growers, farmers, fishermen, winemakers, brewers and producers of Tasmania.

We want to reconnect people who love eating great food with the great people who produce it.
We feel that both the producers and the diners are equal sides of the equation and we aim to honour both.

A Common Ground is kind of a restaurant, but one that roves our regions, hunting and gathering, meeting the growers and makers, learning from them about their produce and passing this on to the diners.

The calendar for A Common Ground will feature a series of long table lunches. We set up our table right in the places where the food comes from – a field of potatoes, an olive grove, a jetty, a greenhouse, a paddock.

We will cook you a slow meal that will showcase the regions produce in way that is often talked about but rarely done. You might be sitting in a field surrounded by the same carrots you are eating. At your table might be the local farmer that raised the lamb or caught the fish on your plate.

All ingredients will come from the region. This is real food.
