Pasture & Co

PASTURE & CO BRANCHES OUT WITH A NEW LOOK

Get bark to basics at this Currumbin Valley fave.

Ahhh Currumbin Valley. The place where the phrase “how’s the serenity” was coined, and we just made that up. It never fails to fill our cup with all things green, greener, and greenest and LBH – is so much more appealing than a shot of spirulina #gag. Being part of a conservation area, naturally businesses shaped by simplicity and sustainability are drawn to this stunning neck of the woods. Embracing the ecofriendly philosophy with gusto, Pasture & Co (2.0) is a must-visit family-friendly café ticking all the boxes; d-lish healthy eats, prime location, tranquillity (but with a vibe), friendly service, and a partridge in a an environmental conscience. And probs a partridge in a pear tree too coz overachiever much?!

Using local, organic and sustainably sourced ingredients, Pasture & Co practices what it preaches. Operating as self-sufficiently as possible, it’s doing its bit to inspire others to reduce their footprint and make more sustainable choices. Anything but cactus, this sentiment is #trending and giving the likes of Pasture & Co the ‘green’ light and momentum to serve food based on nurturing both people and the planet.

The nosh here is amazing and will suit e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e regardless of dietary preferences and beliefs. We’re talking vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and paleo fare. Even omnivores are catered for and side note; we had to google it too, learning that the omnivore lands somewhere between the herbivore and carnivore. It’s not just the savoury stuff either, with yummy vegan, raw and gluten-free sweets that won’t make you feel meh.

Although you can’t go wrong, let’s hero a couple of solid ten-outta-tens. Firstly, the Potato and Zucchini Rosti will do things to your tastebuds that warrant a non-PG rating,

and even we’re even sold by our own pitch here. Similarly, the Avocado and Heirloom Tomatoes with macadamia nut butter is legicious (legit delicious), and not just because anything involving a macadamia nut is the duck’s, well, you know what.

Moving along to beverages, have a go of the organic fair-trade coffee. If you’re channelling something cold, don’t hesitate to order the Mermaid Smoothie. What’s in a Mermaid Smoothie you ask? We’ll let you discover that for yourself and thank us later #TeaseIntentional.

Now let’s talk fit out and feels because Pasture & Co (and gorgeous founder Dani Riley) deserve a green ribbon in both departments. For starters, the lush position surrounded by endless foliage and cheeky wildlife creates instant zen. The space sprawls seamlessly from inside to outside and we challenge you to leave with anything other than a relaxed mind – and happy tummy. Think simple and recycled, rich brown rattan, timber trimmings, and a stunning lighting feature which instantly grabs you (in an entirely non creepy way). Then there’s the plush leather couch, fireplace, fiddle trees and other gorgeous greenery and drumroll; the take-mybreath-awayyyyyyy views #TopGun4Eva.

Created to combine a love of coffee, handmade cakes and simple fresh food, all whilst supporting other small businesses and farmers in the community, Pasture & Co prove that wholesome foods can be both exciting and nourishing. No twigs attached.
