Farm My School: Nourish Nosh Long Table

Farm My School is a not-for-profit organisation that collaborates with schools to promote healthy eating, ecological stewardship and connected communities.

The Farm My School Nourish workshop series has been designed to help families unlock affordable ways to grow and cook simple, nourishing food. Run by renowned chefs and our own Farm My School team, these workshops will encourage simple and practical ways to think about food growing, health and wellbeing.

Let’s gather together, walk the grounds of Farm My School, learn more about this space and then settle in for a communal dining experience whilst reflecting and rejoicing the Nourish workshop series. 

“Nourish was introduced to share the good that we are doing at Farm My School with local families and individuals and arm them with simple tools, recipes and practical ways to nurture themselves, their garden and their family,” says CEO and founder of Farm My School, James McLennan. 

“It’s clear we are achieving that, and more. The results and feedback have been nothing but positive, and encouraging us to continue with the workshops throughout 2025.

“We’ve welcomed people of all ages and abilities to attend, from eager eight-year-olds to seasoned 80-year-olds. It's been a joy to witness the intergenerational conversations and new connections. Nourish Nosh Long Table is in place to bring everyone together to celebrate its success.”

Michael Jaques, Executive Chef from Tarra Queenscliff will be returning to host the long table with support from Matt Germanchis, Executive Chef from Totti’s Lorne and Jo Barrett from Wildpie and The Age Good Food’s Guide 2024 ‘Chef of the Year’. 

From farm to table, Mike will curate and craft a healthy and nourishing three-course meal showcasing freshly harvested, seasonal and organically-grown produce sourced from Farm My School and other local farmers, growers or producers.

Nourish Nosh Long Table will commence with an Acknowledgement to Country, then onto a guided sunset tour of the farm whilst enjoying the first course. Guests will then be seated at the communal tables to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal. 

Representatives from Geelong Community Foundation, Bellarine Community Health and Bellarine Secondary College will discuss their involvement with Farm My School and the Nourish workshop series. Students from Bellarine Secondary College will be assisting with food preparation in the kitchen and table service.

This is an all-inclusive, alcohol-free event with first round invitations to past participants, and then open to the public. 

All proceeds from this event will go to supporting Farm My School.

Thursday 29th May
5.00 - 7.30pm

We look forward to seeing you there.
