Hagen's Organics Christmas Meet the Producer Event

Hagen’s Organics is hosting a Meet the Producer event in the lead up to Christmas in collaboration with McIvor Farm, Mike Reid (My Market Kitchen) and Nathen Doyle (Good Booze Blind). The event will provide an opportunity to gain insight into the cult favourite Christmas Hams that Hagen’s produce in-house each year!

You’ll hear from Jason and Belinda Hagan of McIvor Farm on the importance of regenerative farming practices and what goes into cultivating their award-winning Berkshire pigs, Hagen’s Organics’ head butcher will break down a part of the pig to demonstrate the process that goes into making their mouth-watering hams, and Prahran Market legend, Damian Pike aka ‘The Mushroom Man’ will talk through the importance of seasonality and cooking with fruit and veg that’s in its prime.

There’ll also be a demonstration by Chef Mike Reid of My Market Kitchen, who will be cooking with the pork to create a festive centrepiece that the guests can recreate at home for their Christmas feast. Mike Reid is a British chef who lives for food and cooking and has also appeared on Saturday’s Kitchen, Everyday Gourmet and Asian Unplated.

To complement the food, Good Booze Blind will run through a wine tasting, whilst educating guests about wine pairing with different proteins. Good Booze Blind is a platform created by Nathen Doyle of Heart Attack and Vine, which aims to teach even the most novice wine drinker how to taste and talk about wine.

Bookings are essential.
