  • Matt Adams (Timbre, Tasmania) - fed by and feeding community
    Apr 27 2025
    When he launched Timbre in Tasmania in 2016, Matt Adams told nearby backyard growers that he’d exchange their excess produce for dining vouchers. Without any kind of strategy or a plan, that’s turned into a restaurant that is fed by and feeds community, upending its owner’s notions about what a food business actually is. How does it work? How does it feel? And how can you have a slice of it? https://www.timbrekitchen.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
