It's for this reason that it was one of the first Canberra cafes to be added to the RSPCA's Choose Wisely register, which lists cafes that either already use or are on their way to using completely ethically sourced produce.

The website is part of the charity's Humane Food initiatives and aims to give people who want to support humane food the information they need to ensure they are supporting the eateries that have made the commitment to serve higher welfare food.

"It was only by chance that we discovered Choose Wisely, but I'm glad we did because we've always been using ethical products as much as we can," Bittersweet's Dan Rayner says.

"It's difficult in the commercial industry. We tried also to source locally as well, so people like Majura Valley Eggs.

"They're a wonderful family and if you go and visit them, the chickens are so happy. They've got lots of space and they're really well looked after. That's just a good connection to have in Canberra."

Bittersweet sources a lot of its produce from fresh markets, as well as local businesses such as Majura Valley Free Range Eggs and Wildflour bakery in Fyshwick.

But Rayner says it can be hard to find companies to source ethical produce from in the first instance.

"They're not always the big companies so you've got to through smaller companies or smaller distributors and the consistency isn't always there for us as someone who buys the stuff," he says.

"So you want to source not only ethically produced products but it's got to be good. It has to be high quality.

"It's not so much that the fact that the produce is ethically sourced is what draws a crowd. The rest of the restaurant has to work as well."
