Session One: Homemade Pasta (GF), Preserving & Propagation

Yintarini Farm and SBA’s Kitchen are excited to bring you a series of sustainability inspired workshops, to be held throughout 2026. Each workshop will equip you with new skills, and the confidence, to help you pursue a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

Be inspired to grow what you eat and cook what your grow. Discover the joy of using the freshest of produce from YIntarini Farm and The Garden at Tranquility, complemented by products from the shelves of SBA’s Kitchen at Home, and local Gippsland producers where available, to prepare delicious dishes for all to enjoy.

Tour the gardens of Yintarini Farm with Lucy, learn of her plans for the future, and get some dirt under your nails as she shows you how she grows from scratch, using both cuttings, and the seeds saved from previous crops. Yes, there will be take-homes!

In the kitchen learn new skills and discover new recipes with Julie, from SBA’s Kitchen and The Garden at Tranquility, as you work together to preserve some tomatoes, make some flavour bombs, and freshly made pasta, all key ingredients used as we prepare a hearty lunch to share, throughout the day, while we take breaks to sit chat and relax.

This is a hands-on session, where you will learn new skills, enjoy delicious food, meet new folk, and have a little fun. At the end of the day, you will leave the farm with recipes for all dishes prepared, the plants/seeds from the propagation session, a jar each of the preserves from the preserving session, a little fresh pasta to cook at home, and any leftovers, if any, from the meal enjoyed throughout the day.

All of this, and the inspiration to take what you’ve learned, home to your garden and kitchen.

This is strictly a small group session and there are only 8 places available, so if you want to come along, we recommend booking early.

More Information:

I prefer not to call this a cooking class, but more of a hands-on cooking and knowledge sharing session, where those attending learn and share from my experience. I am not a trained chef, just taught and guided by my experiences, and driven by my love of cooking, sharing, and celebrating with food. (Julie)
