Restaurant Gathemann is for sure among of the most esteemed gourmet locations in Namibia. The restaurant is hosted in the historical Gathemann house in Windhoek, Independence Avenue. Tatekulu M-Sustain™ knows ‘The Gathemann’ since 1989, and it is no secret that during the 1990ies generations of students needed to pass what was called the ‘Gathemann Examination’, an early ‘Slow Food^®’ certificate, if you wish to say so … 🙂

Mr. Urs P. Gamma is Restaurant Gathemann’s owner and chef de cuisine. Tatekulu M-Sustain™ always enjoyed and admired Mr. Gamma’s outstanding creativity. Moreover, while both grow old and either the beard or hair turned gray, promotion of regional and local Namibian products became a major point of discussion among Urs Gamma and M-Sustain™. Well, regional and local Namibian food specialities to be offered to demanding international tourists are not only a challenge in terms of ‘finding’, but at the same time is also a matter of supply.

Let’s make no mistake: Sustainche Farm™ is too small to supply Gathemann Restaurant with Owambo food specialities on a daily basis. However, and following the Sustainche Farm calendar, it is possible to make available rather small quantities, which – as a first step – could include mahangu and marula oil. During M-Sustain’s™ last visit to Windhoek in March 2012 Urs Gamma expressed his great interest in these good, clean and fair Sustainche Farm™ specialities, thus supporting the Sustainche Farm™ Project and the worldwide Slow Food^® movement !

So, let’s find out what the Sustainche Farm™ community thinks and ask the following question:

“Do you like to see Sustainche Farm™ in Northern Namibia supplying small quantities of mahangu (pearl millet) and marula oil to Restaurant Gathemann in Windhoek ?”

It goes without saying that the Sustainche Farm™ family
headed by Meme Tresia & Tatekulu Fillipus will have the last word ! 😉
