#Community

Ella Mittas cooks as a way of connecting – to the people she shares her delicious food with, and to her own cultural heritage. Growing up Greek-Australian gave her a deep-rooted sense of community, which she continues to return to and discover anew through her cooking, travelling and writing.

This year, Market Lane Coffee turns 17. A lot has changed since we began. The industry has evolved and grown, and we’ve grown with it. But much has remained the same, including the thing that gets us out of bed every morning: good coffee that’s good for everyone.

Kate Berry has a knack for turning little inklings into big, beautiful ideas. From launching Lunch Lady to creating OK Motels, a series of regional music weekends that bring visitors and locals together, Kate has built a career around connecting communities and making everyday moments feel a little more special.

Last year, we returned to Bahia, Brazil, to taste and select standout coffees from the latest harvest. This year marked a special milestone.
