Bavarian to raise funds for farmers

Restaurant to donate profits

AGRICULTURE IS THE BACKBONE OF AUSTRALIA AND THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.

THE Bavarian is digging deep to help drought-affected farmers this month.

All profits made from the day’s trade on Sunday, August 26 will be donated to Aussie Helpers, which supports Australian farming families.

The Raise A Fork For Our Farmers fundraiser is part of a campaign from the Grand Central restaurant’s parent company, Rockpool Dining Group.

Each of the company’s 16 venues across New South Wales and Queensland will participate.

The campaign is part of Rockpool Dining Group’s broader commitment to support farmers struggling to cope with devastating drought conditions, with more fundraising to follow.

Australian farmers are at the frontline of record dry conditions that have plunged the entire state of NSW and more than 50% of Queensland into drought.

Diners are encouraged to bring friends and families along for lunch, dinner or simply a drink on the last Sunday in August, knowing that they will be helping our farmers in need.

Rockpool Dining Group CEO Thomas Pash said the company owed much to the farming community.

“Agriculture is the backbone of Australia and the hospitality industry,” Mr Pash said.

“Farmers are our producers, suppliers, friends and peers and we want to support them and give back to our rural communities in a substantial and meaningful way.”
