FUTURE SCAPE Purpose
PURPOSEFUL FUNDRAISING
A NEW INITIATIVE SEEKS TO SUPPORT ARTISTS AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISES THROUGH NFT COLLECTIONS. ALL HAIL BLOCKCHAIN TECH. BY KAREN DONALD.

PURPOSE is the rst of its kind, an NFT initiative that empowers artists and social enterprises through the sale of impact-NFT collections to people who care.
With 300 NGOs around the world ready to collaborate, Purpose uses the phenomenon that is the non-fungible token so charities can best use them for fundraising.
NFTs have proven to be a game changer for Purpose Founder Okki Soebagio. They are a powerful force for good that has helped raise and donate millions of dollars to both global and local causes.
Launched in September 2021, the serial entrepreneur asked himself: “How do we create something impactful using this blockchain technology?” Because what he saw from blockchain or NFT ipping was mostly for selfenrichment. He secured US$100 thousand by December of the same year to bene t artists and social enterprises in need.
CAN ART CHANGE THE WORLD?
Yes, it can. Take the simplicity of donating crypto to a charity, add the unique beauty of non-fungible art, and mix in the collective enthusiasm of passionate online communities. You get the perfect recipe for charitable giving.
“After matching artists and non-pro ts through our platform the locally-based team plans a campaign”, explains Okki. “Then, the artist uploads their collection onto our platform. We then mint and execute the campaign to promote the impact-NFTs to the public and supporters.”
“We have created a local dedicated NFT studio in Indonesia’s art hub of Yogyakarta. Artists get all the tools they need, and we train analog artists to become digital or NFT artists”, says Okki. “A team is always ready to create any collection, partner with eco-retailers or non-pro ts, creating double the impact while expanding consumer reach.”
With his do-good business blooming right before his eyes, Okki set about building a global community of changemakers who create added value through meaningful art. NFTs are a powerful force for social impact, connecting the NFT network with thousands of charities.
WHAT IS AN NFT? NFT stands for non-fungible token. Non-fungible is an economic term that you could use to describe things that are not interchangeable with other items because they have unique properties. These unique tokens can be used to represent ownership of unique items. They let us tokenize things like art, collectables, and even real estate. Ownership of an asset is secured by a blockchain, Ethereum, Solana or Polygon – no one can modify the record of ownership or copy/paste a new NFT into existence.
HOWEVER With Purpose understanding that the rest of the ‘charitable world’ might not quite be up-to-speed with Block-chain technology, they have created an easeof-donation through the usual channels of donating either by debit or credit card directly through Purpose. And through every step of the way Purpose will guide the donator through his/her donation, traceability and ownership of a unique NFT donation, that can be anything between USD10.oo (ten USD) up to a very generous USD1.000.000!
THE KEY PARTNERS For Okki, their rst key partner was brought on board in 2021. Bali based Bye-Bye Plastics Bags launched their rst NFT collection totalling half a million dollars and sold 1,400 NFTs within the rst three months, using a minimal carbon footprint compared to more traditional merchandise products.
“We’ve teamed up with Melati Wijsen of Youthtopia, a global youth changemaker organisation, and started our rst project with Bye-Bye Plastics Bags and Aqil Art to launch Purpose’s rst impact-NFT campaign,” Okki comments. “Promoting a cleaner Indonesia and providing support to the hundreds of volunteers supporting this amazing project.”
With the success of their pilot, a second key partner joined Purpose in the same year. Founded in 1949, SOS Children's Villages is the world's largest non-pro t organisation committed to providing children with a loving family and home. SOS has been in Indonesia for 50 years, providing a family environment and value to 8,000 children from Aceh to NTT. In July 2022, Purpose engaged Indonesia’s top Batik artist Era Soekamto to create a collection of 111,111 NFT’s that is care from $10 to $1 million each from her Adi Manungsa batik collection. Fifty percent of the sales are donated to SOS Children’s Village Indonesia to support their mission.
SCARCITY The biggest use of NFTs today is in the digital content realm. NFTs can really be anything digital (such as graphics, and music), but the excitement is using the tech to sell digital art. The ownerships of the NFTs are managed through the unique ID and metadata that no other token can replicate. NFTs are minted through smart contracts that assign ownership and manage the transferability of the NFTs. At Purpose, 50 percent of the royalties goes to the NGO, 30 percent to the artist, and 20 percent to Purpose. NFTs are designed to give customers something that can’t be copied.
According to Okki, the Purpose platform uses NFTs for philanthropy since these digital assets represent the voices of charities everywhere. “The main thing we want to spotlight is doing good in all forms. For instance, one of the causes that will be featured in our gallery is an 11-year-old girl, Mia, who wanted to have proceeds go to her dog sanctuary in Bali called Mia Healing Sanctuary”.
THE FUTURE This presents an entirely new audience that might be even more generous than investors across other sectors. The trend is giving rise to a crowd that is just more comfortable with donating via NFTs and crypto, be it for tax reasons or because they prefer on-chain assets.
With 10,000,000+ registered NGOs globally and a possible $800 billion a year, Purpose has not forgotten local charities. The company works with Habitat For Humanity Indonesia and renowned architect, Raul Renanda, to develop yet another impact-NFT collection for HFH where the proceeds will be used to build proper houses for the unfortunates. The sustainability movement Plastic Exchange in Ubud empowers communities to change their waste behaviour through dignity-based exchange systems for healthier environments. Half a million dollars worth of NFTs are in the making using the personal art collection owned by the Tugu Hotel Group. In 2023, Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa, Solemen, Torajamelo and many other local NGOs or social enterprises within the archipelago will be launching their impact-NFT collection thru Purpose.
It’s a ground breaking, win-win idea, promoted via the social enterprise’s network of supporters and the public, including the artists’ fan clubs, adding a green or sociallyconscious positioning to the artists’ public image. These impact-NFTs will no doubt fund positive social, cultural, sustainable development or environmental impact in the future.

WEATHERING HEIGHTS
THE G20 MEETING ON BALI IN NOVEMBER 2022 IS
FOCUSED ON THE THEME,
“RECOVER TOGETHER, RECOVER STRONGER:
PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE FINANCE [AND]
EXPANDING AN INCLUSIVE FINANCIAL SYSTEM.”
YAK COLUMNIST ANDREW E. HALL ASKS:
IS THERE SOMETHING WRIT LARGER TO TALK ABOUT?
AS G20 leaders gather on Bali to try to resolve how the global community might engineer an economic recovery from the Covid pandemic, one might ask whether their conversations will include another looming catastrophe, one that has the propensity to overwhelm the untimely deaths of six million-plus people.
Perhaps, it is apropos that an examination take place of the neo-classical, neo-liberal, economic assertion that citizens exist to facilitate economic “growth” and “productivity” in national and corporate accounts – while acknowledging public policy exhortations of most Scandinavian countries, Bhutan, and more recently New Zealand to the contrary, about socio-economic measures that moderate growth and productivity in the interests of broad-spectrum environmental harmony and human health and happiness.
Oh, the sniggering in boardrooms and private bathrooms about the rise and rise of capital by pimped-out primal pump polluters ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its sixth iteration (2022) deemed: “[Global heating is] already impacting every corner of the world, and much more severe impacts are in store if we fail to halve greenhouse gas emissions this decade and immediately scale up adaptation.”
The other fve have said the same thing, pretty much. It’s only the urgency in the authors’ tone that changes, as the degree of detail in scientifc modelling reveals our predicament in ever more precise terms.
IPCC authors of the seventh report – due in about fve years – might as well save themselves considerable pro bono time and a whole lot of verbiage, by issuing a brief statement that reads: “We’re all fucked if you people don’t wake up!”
DAY-TRIPPING ON THE TITANIC
This year alone has seen catastrophic foods in Pakistan, and eastern states of Australia; droughts that have reduced Europe’s major rivers to a comparative trickle; a heatwave in the UK, and in Canada’s British Columbia a day that topped 50 degrees Celsius. Day trippers in the US are having the time of their lives discovering all sorts of amazing things along the Colorado River because those things are now way above the previous waterline. Lake Mead in Nevada – backed up by the Hoover dam – is at 30 per cent capacity.
In September, Hurricane Ian – one of the strongest ever to make landfall in the USA according to meteorological types, who cite oceanic warming in the Gulf of Mexico as integral to increased hurricane strength and frequency – swept through Florida killing some tens of Floridian humans; no fgures about nonhumans (natch). But Ian held off hammering the Mar-aLago pile of Agent Orange ... which is proof there is no God.
Earlier in the month, thousands of column-centimetres in newspapers throughout the world, interminable minutes on broadcast services and tera bytes on social media were preoccupied with the death and mourning of an elderly UK queen.
In 2019/20 wildfres swept through many, many thousands of hectares of bushland in eastern Australia (prior to “unprecedented” fooding) incinerating (best scientifc guess) a billion-plus native species’ innocents and quite a few humans. An epochal confagration that climate crisis experts attributed to an increasingly rapid redistribution of human-generated atmospheric toxicity. During which a Christian evangelist and climate heating sceptic (septic?) prime minister named Morrison returned from a Hawaiian holiday subterfuge to disclaim public opprobrium at his absence by saying: “I don’t hold a hose ... mate”.
Shrug. Move on.
Scientist and conservationist Professor Tim Flannery, one of Australia’s leading authors on climate change said at the time: “Researchers have identifed 15 tipping points for Earth’s climate system. They involve things like the melting of glaciers and ice caps, the destruction of the Amazon’s forests and the altering of ocean currents. Trigger any of them and a cascade of consequences is unleashed that will lead to out-of-control planetary heating. Trigger the tipping points, and almost everything about Earth will change, including biodiversity, the coasts, our food and water security, and our health ...
“Interwoven with self-interest, the Morrison government suffers from a thick strand of climate denialism that feeds on tribalism and wilful ignorance.”
Thankfully, the Morrison muppet show was booted in May by Australian voters tired of trying to fgure out if quantum mechanics or string theory might explain the deposed government’s “alternative” take on reality.
In September 2022, the Guardian newspaper reported: “The climate crisis has driven the world to the brink of multiple disastrous tipping points, according to a major study.
“It shows fve dangerous tipping points may already have been passed due to the 1.1C of global heating caused by humanity to date. These include the collapse of Greenland’s ice cap, eventually producing a huge sea level rise, the collapse of a key current in the north Atlantic, disrupting rain upon which billions of people depend for food, and an abrupt melting of carbon-rich permafrost.”
Dr David Armstrong McKay at the University of Exeter, a lead author of the study, says: “It’s really worrying. There are grounds for grief, but there are also still grounds for hope.”
Appreciate it, David ... as the people of low-slung Pacifc islands anticipate Water World.
Deceased monarch Elizabeth II’s “regal” ancestry encompasses the evisceration of basic human rights during the 19th century industrial revolution in Britain; the calumny of the slave trade to the Americas; and the supervision of capricious slaughter of peoples on the Indian sub-continent, as described in excruciating detail in William Dalrymple’s The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company. Dalrymple asserts that the British subjugation of the sub-continent and its peoples was seminal in creating the global corporatist model that has accrued vast wealth to an ethically bereft minority and led inexorably to the conscious denigration of the “democratic” paradigm, and the evisceration of populations who need to work to eat.
The heating of our planet is not an artefact of the industrial revolution and its evolution. It is a consequence of decisions made by an entitled few, foisted upon a disenfranchised majority.
A majority not only delineated in human terms, but by a rapidly diminishing spectra of other species that are integral to the biodiversity of a little planet that (as far as we know) wouldn’t be averse to the elimination of all life that currently inhabits its surface. Wiser heads have suggested that we might listen more respectfully to those who have curated continents and their constituents for millennia. Traditional Owners of “Country” – an Australian First Peoples’ term that applies in a profound way to Indigenous law and lore (also known as The Dreaming) wept at the 2019/20 bushfre carnage (among many other imperial pillages of their nations) and yet another neo-colonial managerial slight to the places with which they are, still, materially, culturally, and spiritually intimately interwoven.
THE “SAINTS” GO MARCHING IN
Contemporaneous hagiographers might well punt Peter, Paul and Mary and displace them with the likes of Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, the disgraced Roman Abramovich, the arrogant and entitled mining “magnates” Australians Andrew Forrest and Gina Rinehart.
The supplicants at Bali’s G20 get-together might well agree that these people are exemplary for their respective nations’ bottom-line gross domestic product (GDP), that also acknowledges the cutting down of oldgrowth forests and placing a commercial value on dead wood as an economic plus.
Thus goes the Amazon rain forest, with the added GDP benefts of mining and agriculture. To the tune of several thousand football pitches a day. To the tune of Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World and Brazil president (at the time of writing) Jair Bolsonaro’s unilateral “fuck you”, especially you pesky Indigenous Amazonians and your habitats. To the wheeze that accompanies the cancer in the “lungs of the world”.
Three of the neo-saints are wannabe space cadets.
Branson, an English former record shop owner, leveraged his marketing skills into a global branding exercise, which led to his current obsession of popping people up to the edge of space for a minutes’-long gravity-free frolic; a view of an overheating planet’s curvature; and presumably a bit of champagne and caviar upon return to his New Mexico space base. For a paltry quarter-million bucks or so.
Bezos, one of the United States GDP on-line shopping wunderkind, exploits the vulnerability of his worldwide workforce in ruthless fashion – don’t even think of relieving your bladder while on the production line (except into your pants) – is competing with Branson’s extravagant edge-of-space tourism gig and wants to settle people on the moon.
Musk – thanks for the electric cars and trucks, and the curious famethrower marketing prop, dude – thinks the answer to our global heating crisis is for privileged people to also live on the moon ... and Mars. Please be on the frst rocket champ. We can do without you.
Rinehart and Forrest (whose GDP contribution to the Australian economy is worthy of a hedonistic wank in certain circles) have amassed obscene fortunes from recolonising Traditional Owners’ land – without paying reasonable rent – dividing First Peoples’ communities; digging up mineral resources that lay beneath ancient landscapes, obliterating tens of thousands of years of cultural and ceremonial signifcance ... and selling them, mainly, to China. Combined, these two are arguably the largest land “owners” in Australia.
For those of you who are not “post-truth” devotees, please read Title Fight: How the Yindjibarndi battled and defeated a mining giant, by Paul Cleary.
Roman Abramovich – now on wobbly ground via a range of international sanctions aimed at disempowering Russians’ support for their country’s despotic war against the Ukraine, is/was a scion of “Londongrad”, the fnancial hub for shifty oligarchs; former owner of the Chelsea Football Club; and Russian natural resources tzar – is a sick puppy and needs to relocate to Moscow on a permanent basis, where he can exist at the pleasure of a paranoic Vladimir Putin.
And Zuckerberg simply makes me wonder if the speculative frenzy about space aliens crash-landing at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, has a more contemporary consequence.
BANZAI!
In Capital in the Anthropocene, associate professor at Tokyo University Kohei Saito writes: “The climate crisis will spiral out of control unless the world applies emergency brakes to capitalism and devises a new way of living”.
As the Guardian Japan correspondent Justin McCurry reports: “Saito’s message is simple – capitalism’s demand for unlimited profts is destroying the planet and only ‘degrowth’ can repair the damage by slowing down social production and sharing wealth.
“In practical terms, that means an end to mass production and the mass consumption of wasteful goods such as fast fashion. In [his book] Saito also advocates decarbonisation through shorter working hours and prioritising essential ‘labour-intensive’ work such as caregiving. “As the world confronts more evidence of the effects of climate change – from foods in Pakistan to heatwaves in Britain – rampant infation and the energy crisis, Saito’s vision of a more sustainable, post-capitalist world will appear in an academic text to be published (in 2023) by Cambridge University Press, with an English translation of his bestseller to follow.”
ALWAYS WITH YOU, ALWAYS WITH ME
Self-interested power players, in all their forms will extemporise a status quo that sustains their political, economic, and societal primacy ... damning the rest of us to wage slavery and corporate kowtow. Plutocrats and oligarchs are recipients of regressive taxation loopholes that they can drive Tesla trucks, full of money, through. As the Thucydides Trap – an hypothesis based on ancient Athenian historian and military general Thucydides, in which he posited that the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta was inevitable because of Spartan fears of the growth of Athenian (Greek) hegemony – is set for the USA and its allies, untold resources are poured into weapons of mass destruction and distraction. By the US and China in yet another epic dick-measuring contest ... while elders struggle to decide whether to explain to their children and grandchildren that their futures are being juggled by people who keep dropping the balls ... or sit their progeny down to watch a re-run of Happy Feet on the family’s 105-inch home cinema. Unless, of course, you are part of the two-thirds of humanity who are trying to scratch a living for themselves and their offspring from a desiccated, drowned, and dystopian world; for whom a home cinema might represent a lifetime of food, education, and healthcare.

THE YAK CHECKED IN WITH NICOLAS SENES, RESORT MANAGER AT THE ICONIC FOUR SEASONS
JIMBARAN BAY TO DIG DEEPER INTO THEIR ‘SUSTAINABILITY AND COMMUNITY’ PROGRAMMES.
NICOLAS, in your mind, when did the Four Seasons Bali Resorts start taking sustainability seriously? We are not an “eco-hotel” but we have always aimed to minimize our carbon footprint, even before such a phrase became an overused part of corporate vernacular. Jimbaran Bay opened in 1993 and Sayan in 1998, and they remain global benchmarks of hotel architecture that respects local traditions, natural resources and the community.
Jimbaran’s landscape design by the late Michael Wijaya features distinctive limestone walls which were quarried on-site and the garden includes rare plants like cendana to provide natural cooling of public areas. In our operations, we are always looking for new ways to minimize our impact, such as our zero-plastic policy and the on-site water puri cation plant we launched in 2018, which supplies drinking water to all guest rooms at Sayan and Jimbaran Bay.
Guests often comment that they can feel the positive energy of our resort environments, it’s something intangible but very much alive. Even when we have renovated our villas or opened the new Healing Village Spa just last year, we have always kept true to our original resort concept, embedded in the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. This was the starting point of our sustainability commitment and it remains embedded in our DNA.
Meanwhile, in 2022 Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts introduced operational eld goals and KPIs for all properties globally, in support of the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals.
What did you target rst, and why? Minimising waste and energy consumption through traditional design, local sourcing and partnerships, and strict operational standards. Why? We want guests to feel an authentic connection to Bali – and a luxurious level of comfort – without it costing the Earth. At the same time, we are a business and it makes nancial sense to minimize waste and energy. For Bali’s tourism-dependent economy, responsible tourism is essential to the livelihoods of millions of people, which is something the Covid border closures brought into stark focus.
A big focus is sta training and learning. It can’t just be management saying one thing and sta doing another. We have a full-time Environment & Sustainability Manager who is responsible for achieving annual KPIs on sourcing, waste management, energy consumption and community outreach, in cooperation with all departments. And we have really imaginative, innovative sta . Last Christmas, a Sundara manager came up with the idea to make a Christmas tree entirely out of driftwood, and worked with the Engineering team on design and lighting. Over six weeks, the sta were little eco-elves creating a 4-metre-high tree out of 5,211 pieces of driftwood collected by hand from Bali’s beaches. This is just one example, but for me it represents the role hotels can play in giving Balinese people a platform to become sustainability leaders in their community. We are each responsible and we can each make a di erence in our own ways, big and small.
Who are your partners within your waste management programmes, and what does each one do for Four Seasons Resorts? • ecoBali upcycles tetrapaks into cabinets and roofs – used to build the ‘tiny tetra house’ designed by architect Alexis Dornier. • Lengis Hijau recycles used cooking oil into biofuel. • Scholars of Sustenance (SOS) Indonesia rescues leftover bu et food, which is donated and repurposed into meals for the needy. • Food waste separation at restaurants and the sta canteen, donated to a farm as animal feed. • Suppliers must comply with our ban on single-use plastics for packaging, and we prioritise micro-farmers and local sourcing; for example, Sayan uses organic sea salt from a social cooperative in North Bali, and sustainable coconut oil for cooking. The oil is sourced from a family which grows the coconuts and makes the oil at home, with zero waste traditional methods. The coconut husks are used as fuel for cooking, and our Sokasi Chef’s Table dinner includes sh marinated in klengsih, a rare ingredient which is a by-product of the coconut oil production. • In-room co ee is from the Java Mountain Co ee social enterprise. The E.U Certi ed biodegradable capsules are packed by a women's cooperative in the mountains of Bali and West Java. Proceeds go back into a Women’s Empowerment Innovation Fund to invest in climate-resistant co ee trees and training. • PT PRIA handles hazardous waste disposal eg, engine oil, medical waste from our on-site clinics, ink cartridges and batteries. At Shop And Drive, we tradein used generator batteries at a recycling depot. All lighting is LED. • Our most recent partner is Toyota to pilot their battery electric vehicle (BEV) which is now available for guests to take self-driving tours in South Bali.
How does the Four Seasons directly engage with their guests to bring the “back of house” to the “front of house”? I mean, that is part of the problem isn’t it? Sustainability is not really considered sexy, luxury or interesting even… I would disagree with your last comment! There’s nothing sexier than a strong leader and that’s what
STAYING WITH THE DREAM ... FOUR SEASONS RESORT@JIMBARAN BAY.
sustainability needs to succeed. We have so many ways for guests to directly get involved – from taking a guided walking tour of our gardens and local areas to learn about green design principles; a cooking class with ingredients from our on-site herb and vegetable gardens; a Zero Waste cocktail class at Telu, where the bar team share eco-tips with guests to take home; or taking a new Toyota BEV for a spin to experience the future of sustainable transport.
Architecture, upcycling and repurposing; your newish Telu Bar outlet has what I would call ‘good sustainability pedigree’. Tell us a bit about the outlet; who built it, with what and what is its purpose? Telu is a beautiful venue born out of a dark period, a testament to Bali’s resilient spirit. The idea came about during Covid when our sta were frankly scratching for things to do, having very few guests, and proactively looked for ways to innovate, upgrade the resort, and stay busy and motivated. Sustainability was the vision, to create a space with an upcycled design where we could run Zero Waste Cocktail Workshops, and get creative with infusions in the Arak Cellar. Our Food & Beverage, Engineering and Gardening Departments all worked together on the design and renovation of the space, using 100% repurposed materials sourced on-site at the resort. There’s also an aromatic herb and cocktail garden and an arak cellar.
It’s a great space for a private cocktail party, and guests learn eco-tips behind our bar team’s ethos of "minimum waste, maximum avour" – from how to minimize water and electricity consumption when mixing a cocktail, to local sourcing and why plastic straws should de nitely be extinct by now – we have so many alternatives, even a lemongrass stalk does the job!
Culturally, Four Seasons Resorts are very well known for supporting, re ecting and promoting the culture of Bali. What heritage programmes have you designed for guests to enjoy? We have a full-time Resort Priest who takes care of our temple (with a shrine dating back to the 17th century) and conducts ceremonies for sta , blessings and cultural tours for guests, and maintains the spiritual energy of the resort. Our Ganesha Cultural Programme provides guests with the opportunity to meet local artists and do workshops in painting, traditional calligraphy, songket weaving, wood carving, pencak silat martial arts, dance and rindik. The centre’s primary purpose is to actively support Balinese artists and give them a chance to connect with an international audience. We also have design and procurement policies that prioritise Balinesemade materials, to support local craftspeople.
Have you had any sustainability projects that opped? A few years ago, we established some bee hives at Sayan but the bees kept ying o as the area didn't have enough ower variety to sate their appetite. We’d replace them and they’d be gone within a few weeks again. But we don’t give up that easily. Jimbaran has more oral diversity and we are literally waiting for the paint to dry on our new Balinese-style hives so our winged guests can check-in and start making honey. It’s just in time as Sayan’s former beekeeper-chef Liam Nealon is back with us, this time as Executive Chef at Jimbaran Bay.
What else is upcoming in the Four Seasons pipeline? We are one of the launch partners in Indonesia for ecoSPIRITS, the world’s rst low-carbon, low-waste spirit distribution technology. It eliminates up to 80% of the carbon footprint of drinking spirits. Guilt-free cocktails! It started with just Smirno but more spirit companies are expected to jump on board. This is an initiative that Four Seasons Asia-Paci c is right behind as a game-changer in sustainable bar operations.
We actively recruit talent who share our vision. Our new Bar Manager is a Dive Master and passionate about the ocean, and will ensure the bar team remains cutting edge as an industry leader in sustainability. Meanwhile, our new Chef de Cuisine at Sundara, David Gavin, is deep into local sourcing. He was previously Chef de Cuisine at Mozaic and mentored by Chris Salans, and has amazing connections with local farmers. He hunts down the best and most intriguing ingredients to add an extra element of surprise and sustainability to every bite. Come and see for yourself!
