WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
If you attended last year's workshop, Cooking on Country – this is part two!

Discover how to grow and cook with native Indigenous plants, guided by deep knowledge, lived experience and a connection to land that goes far beyond the plate. Be prepared to get your taste buds fired up!

The session will commence with a tour of Farm My School Bellarine led by James McLennan, and then into the Food Tech kitchen to prepare a dish under the guidance of Nornie Bero.

WHO YOU WORK WITH
Nornie Bero is a proud Torres Strait Islander from Mer Island. She is an author, chef and founder of Mabu Mabu. Nornie is passionate about educating people on eating and cooking with Indigenous Australian plants.

James McLennan is CEO and co-founder of Farm My School. James lives and breathes environmental conservation, preservation and regeneration and he'll share insights into the Farm My School model and practices.

WHAT YOU NEED
Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for standing, walking and cooking.
Bring your own containers to take your dishes home or welcome to stay and eat together.

WHO ARE WE
Farm My School is a not-for-profit organisation which collaborates with schools to transform their underutilised grounds into regenerative farms that nourish, educate and connect communities. We are driven to promote healthy eating, ecological stewardship and connect communities.

The Nourish workshops are facilitated by renowned chefs, food makers, authors and our own Farm My School team and they are designed to encourage simple and practical ways to think about food growing, health and wellbeing.

WHAT ELSE DO WE DO
Everyone will work with Indigenous plants, as well as regeneratively grown, seasonal produce from Farm My School, which are available to purchase via our weekly or subscription veggie boxes. We also offer education sessions, incubator traineeships and corporate experiences and partnerships.

This is more than a farm – this is a food hub built for community, connection, education and sustainability!
