    Last week, Quest for Life hosted the grand opening of our new fruit orchard, a remarkable milestone for our community. We were honoured to welcome newly elected Wingecarribee Shire Councillor, Rachel Russell, for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and afternoon tea, along with many supporters of Quest who joined us for an afternoon of learning, conversation, and connection. 🍑🍏 The produce from our orchard, already flourishing with a variety of fruit and berries, embodies Quest’s SLOW food philosophy (Seasonal, Local, Organic, Whole) and will nourish our guests with fresh, wholesome ingredients, supporting their journey of healing and wellbeing. We also look forward to sharing its bounty with the wider community in the future. 🥗 We extend heartfelt thanks to Shamis, whose passion for organic gardening brought this project to life, and to Sam Quine from Ecolibrium Landscape & Design for creating such a tranquil, beautiful space. Special appreciation also goes to Curlys Compost for generously donating their nutrient-rich, worm-filled compost, helping our orchard thrive. 🌱 The event was beautifully enhanced by the thoughtful decorations and signage from Katie Mandarano and her team at Cherry On Top Events – thank you, Katie, for making the day even more special. 🎉 Thank you to everyone who attended and made this event a memorable celebration of growth, connection, and sustainability! 🌿 #QuestForLife #OrchardOpening #SustainableLiving #CommunitySupport #OrganicGardening

Our PedalQuesters team - Neil Gripper (Quest General Manager), Jane Gripper, Kane Piper, Todd Berry, Liz White and Tina Freund (Quest Massage Therapist) - embraced the day, making it one filled with cycling, camaraderie, and celebration. Quest Administrator, Nicki Darch, even had the exciting chance to meet Conor Leahy, the Australian road and track cyclist, who is an Olympic champion and world record holder - what a highlight! 🏅 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and supported Quest for Life during this time.
