AIR: for everyone’s well-being

Recently launched at the verdant Dempsey Hill, AIR (short for Awareness, Impact, and Responsibility) is a restaurant, circular campus, and cooking club rolled into one. This rather ambitious project was founded by acclaimed chefs Matthew Orlando and Will Goldfarb, alongside entrepreneur and co-founder of Potato Head, Ronald Akili.

The team overhauled the entire property, transforming it from a “jungle with overgrown grass” into a working garden that grows moringa, Thai basil, lemongrass, ginger, mint, lemon balm, rosella, shiso and other herbs and spices. They have also planted banana, mulberry, mangosteen and papaya trees in the area. The produce is destined for the kitchen here, which is mostly helmed by Matthew, formerly of Amass in Copenhagen, considered one of the world’s most sustainable restaurants.
