We have some incredibly exciting news to share! 🎉

Boodja Ventures has been successful in our application for funding through the Regional Economic Development (RED) Grants program!

This grant is a game-changer for us and our region. It allows us to officially launch our Mobile Cuisine Project and acquire a fully self-sufficient, off-grid Mobile Cuisine Unit.

This means we can bring our high-quality, catering to community events and beautiful, natural locations across Bindjareb Country and the Peel region.

But it’s about so much more than just great food. This project gives us the capacity to create genuine employment pathways and traineeships for local Aboriginal people. It also means we can expand our support for the local Aboriginal foragers and micro-businesses who supply our native ingredients.

We want to extend a massive thank you to the Peel Development Commission and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for believing in our vision and investing in regional economic diversity.

To our wonderful clients, local government partners, and the entire community, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your ongoing support makes all of this possible.

We can't wait to serve you from our new mobile kitchen very soon! 🚐🌿

Ten Peel projects will share in $1.104 million through Round 8 of the Regional Economic Development (RED) Grants program.

The successful projects in Round 8 will not only diversify the Peel economy, but support regional job creation in the manufacturing, tourism and hospitality sectors.

Since the inception of the program, the WA government has invested more than $5.8 million across 53 locally-driven projects in Peel, helping regional businesses build capability, grow sustainably and contribute to a more diverse and resilient regional economy.

Did you know that in the Kuku Yalanji language of Cape York, 'Jawun' means 'friend' or 'family'? Here on Noongar Boodja, we use the words 'Koorda' (friend) and 'Moort' (family).

While the words change across the country, the spirit of supporting one another stays the same.

We were honoured to cater for the Jawun National All Staff Kickstart at Roelands Village. Good food is the heart of team building, and we loved creating a "Mereny" (Food) experience that brought everyone together.

𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘂: We served a Noongar fusion feast featuring:

🌿 Grazing: The usual favourites plus yongka (kangaroo) and weitj (emu) salami, lemon myrtle cheese, and native spice-infused olives.
🥩 Main: Rib eye beef medallions encrusted with saltbush, pepperberry, and native thyme, served with a davidson plum jus, accompanied by parsnip puree, beetroot discs, roasted carrots and warrigal greens.
🥭 Dessert: Mango and macadamia cheesecake with kakadu plum cream and wattleseed crumb.

𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲: We believe no guest should ever feel like an "inconvenience." Our kitchen successfully navigated a complex list of dietary requirements including no garlic, onion, pork, cheese, rice, cauliflower, leek, dairy, eggs, gluten, or shellfish, ensuring every single team member enjoyed a full, delicious meal.

A big thank you to Jawun for the opportunity, Roelands Village for sharing your facilities, and Bowerbird Naturals for the incredible native ingredients. It is powerful to see Noongar businesses supporting each other.
