Shambhala Farms

Shambhala Farm’s FarmBox is about Real Wholesome Food on your doorstep.

Access fresh produce grown as sustainably as possible, as locally as possible. Produce is grown partially at Noosa Hinterland’s Shambhala Farm, as well as accessed from our network of Sustainable Food Hub growers. Produce is grown with a variety of sustainable methods using principles of ecology and biological controls that replenish soils, and are ethical, responsible & practical, and most importantly, allow nature to be the key farmer.

FarmBox groceries bring wholesome nourishment to your pantry; from the basics like milk, sourdough bread and eggs, to fermented health kicks like sauerkraut and kombucha.

With easy online ordering, complete your weekly order by 10am Wednesday and start cooking from Friday night when your FarmBox arrives on your doorstep.

Join Shambhala Farm’s community of 500 Sunshine Coast households supporting local and Australian growers and producers who care about the earth and our health!

 Claudia & Jon – Qualified Chefs, Founders of Claude’s Food

Qualifications

• Qualified chefs with over 30 years’ experience

• Founders of Claude’s Food (established 2007, Sunshine Coast)

Experience
Since 2019, Claudia & Jon have focused entirely on cooking for retreats. Their full-time passion. Over the years, they’ve catered countless retreats of all kinds including yoga, singing, breathwork, dance, trauma release, art, and even dog training, ranging from 10 to 50+ guests.

Approach
They take guests on a culinary journey around the world, focusing on nutrient-dense ingredients to create balanced menus of bold flavours, bursting with colour and goodness. They handle every element; planning, shopping, prepping, serving, and clearing, so retreat facilitators can focus entirely on their guests.
They prioritise quality local produce, free-range meats and eggs, cold-pressed oils, and use much organic or spray-free produce (fully organic available for an additional fee). They also work closely with clients to create menus suited to each retreat, accommodating all dietary requirements and helping clients stay within budget.

Availability
Claudia & Jon run several multi-day cooking retreats each year and can also facilitate cooking classes if requested. They particularly love working at Amara Retreat and recommend contacting them as early as possible, as they are often booked out well in advance.

Experience

Since 2013, Danielle has been catering yoga retreats from the Sunshine Coast to Northern New South Wales, and as far as Italy. She loves catering retreats, where participants come with an intention of taking care of themselves and then leave feeling nourished and inspired to prepare nurturing, life-giving food at home.

Danielle offers Ayurvedic-inspired meals which support healthy digestion, are full of flavour, and are balanced to be grounding and enlivening at the same time. She uses whole, organic, seasonal ingredients where possible, often with the inclusion of her homegrown herbs and seasonal greens. Meals are vegetarian, with dietary requirements catered for upon request (including gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan).

Availability

As well as retreat catering, Danielle offers engaging information sessions on Ayurveda. These one-hour group sessions explore topics such as Ayurveda: The Doshas and You, Ayurveda and Perimenopause (and Beyond), and Ayurveda for Diet and Digestion. For groups seeking a more movement-based experience, she also facilitates hula hoop workshops, playful, creative sessions that invite participants to connect with their inner rhythm. All hoops are provided, making it easy for everyone to join in.
