Bush to Bowl is an Aboriginal corporation that uses traditional Indigenous food as a way of connecting to Culture and Country


Co-owner of Bush to Bowl, Adam Byrne, Garigal/Gadigal man, talks to NITV Radio about the 100% Aboriginal owned social enterprise he co-owns with Yaegl man Clarence Bruinsma, and the important role food plays in connecting to Country.

Adam says that with Clarence they wanted to create a safe and healing space and are sharing the passion for traditional Indigenous foods.

For Adam sharing food is a great way to open conversations.

“We need to sit down and learn from each other and collaborate…and share. And food is the best way. With a full belly and few laughs...that’s a good start”
