Editor’s Note

After more than a year of research, it is an amazing feeling to finally be able to share ‘Melbourne For Conscious Foodies’ with you. This is the first of many guides in our Conscious Foodies series.

SOCIAL GOOD

We are committed to ‘giving back’ and will donate 25% of the profits from each guide sold to a local Melbourne initiative. The same goes for future guides; a percentage of the profits will be distributed to a local initiative in the city of focus.
