This is a unique opportunity to hear and learn from industry leaders about how to start and operate a successful market garden, with the workshop conducted on the 105-acre Green Cauldron Farm, set in the beautiful Tyalgum hills just one hour from the Gold Coast and nestled in the shadow of Mt Warning.

The brainchild of Katie and James Geralds, the farm was established as a research and development hub to realise their goal of innovative and sustainable use of harvests from around the region. It already produces a range of fresh produce supplied to some of the best-known restaurants in South East Queensland and a range of pantry preserves highlighting Australian native ingredients.

Tickets include all materials, handouts, refreshments and lunch on the day. Places are strictly limited to 30 people. For more information call: 0409 032 277. Please bring a hat, appropriate footwear and a small, portable stool if you would like to sit while out in the gardens.
