Supper Series – Tasmanian Buffalo with Dave Roberts-Thompson

We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter in our Watershed Supper Series in collaboration with Chef Isabel Skyes.  

This season, join us at Watershed to celebrate local food and community. Our special event series showcases high-quality, nutritious, and sustainably sourced ingredients, while promoting conversations around community, building a culture of care, and celebrating local producers. Each event fosters strong connections through place-based sharing.  

Chef Isabel Sykes, will be crafting a menu with produce from Tasmanian Buffalo. Started in 1997 they are Tasmania’s first commercial herd. Their buffalo products are derived from purely grass fed animals on the rolling hills of Preston. Buffalo meat is very low in fat and high in iron, their animals are holistically bred and raised with no chemicals.

Joining us for conversations is Dave Roberts Thompson. Dave will share valuable insights from his recent travels as a Nuffield Scholar, offering a deep dive into global food production practices and trends. His discussion will provide a unique perspective on how these practices impact local and international food systems. 

Youth Engagement at Watershed: Central to our mission is engaging young people in these conversations. Through workshops in hospitality, menu design, front-of-house operations, and conversational skills, led by BighART and Isabel, youth gain valuable experience and real-life skills to cultivate a passion for community involvement.
