Classes

We believe wholeheartedly in the power of shared knowledge and stories. Our cooking and gardening classes are an opportunity to learn together in small groups. 

The cooking school is The Agrarian Kitchen’s original offering, first beginning in 2008 in regional Tasmania. Now situated in a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen on-site at Willow Court in New Norfolk, our cooking classes are all about making food from its base elements, including the best, freshly harvested produce from our on-site garden, as well as local humanely-produced meat, seafood and dairy.
