Ycona is deeply committed to promoting biological, healthy foods and supporting farm-to-table initiatives. We take pride in offering our guests locally sourced, organic ingredients, beginning with our very own Ycona Botanic Garden. Here, guests can witness the cultivation of vegetables and fruits that will eventually grace their plates, tended to by our dedicated local gardeners. To ensure sustainability, our irrigation system will utilize collected humidity from the air.
In line with our stance against chemical pesticides, we exclusively use biological products to cultivate our produce. As Zanzibar is renowned as the spice island, all spices featured in our dishes are sourced directly from the fragrant Ycona Spice Garden.
Our commitment to healthy, conscious eating extends to our poultry, ducks, and eggs, which will be sourced directly from our Ycona farm. By prioritizing seasonal fruits and vegetables and promoting healthy menus, we align with ESG goal 3, which advocates for good health and well-being.
Respecting the local ecosystem (ESG goal 15) and preserving the ocean's wonders (ESG goal 14) are integral to our ethos. Through conscientious practices and initiatives, we strive to minimize our environmental impact while maximizing our contributions to the well-being of our planet.
Nestled within the Ycona Botanic Garden, Mama Africa restaurant embodies our farm-to-table philosophy. Here, guests can indulge in cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients, tantalizing their taste buds with flavors that reflect the essence of our region.
