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.
We also offer gardening classes from our own one-acre produce garden.

Recipes
The Agrarian Experience is a celebration of the seasons. You may not realise that each Agrarian Experience class is at least 6 months in the making. Selecting seeds, planting, watering and nurturing the plants to maturity to be harvested on the day of the class. To ensure that you harvest and cook with the freshest and ripest produce possible from our garden each day’s menu is decided upon the day before by Rodney after a stroll through the garden.
This cooking experience is suitable for all - those who are qualified chefs, home cooks, those who do not usually cook or just for those who would like to experience our agrarian way of living. The day includes foraging, harvesting, cooking, learning, eating and drinking.
The day begins with all of us in the class foraging in the garden for the ripest fruit and vegetables. What cannot be harvested from our garden is sourced from local Tasmanian producers. The extensive tour also gives plenty of opportunity to discuss growing plants and The Agrarian Kitchen’s own gardening philosophy.
Once harvesting is complete, we continue in the kitchen preparing and cooking together a seasonal feast. The cooking of dishes is shared amongst the group and although you will not individually cook every single dish on the menu Rodney will ensure that you are taught the skills and techniques of each dish. As class sizes are an intimate number of 12 this is your opportunity to ask questions and to learn as much as you would like - you get as much out of the experience as you put in.
The day will culminate with lunch including premium Tasmanian wines.
