Our origins….
Inspired by working with children, farmers and chefs, “Eat my Garden” goes ‘beyond gourmet’…. looking to the source before making the sauces. Connecting environment (water, soil, air, energy, ecology) with the lifecycles of plants, people, organic qualities, and of course the foods and eating !
Three years in the making, “Eat my Garden” kids program has drawn from twelve years experience and proven examples with children, from France and Australia, all aiming to satisfy the senses and make fresh food gardening and eating a lifelong passion
We do this organically… applying international organic standards, to make it as healthy as possible, for you and our planet.
Latarnie McDonald (yes that’s right, Old McDonald’s daughter!) is the founder and tuition leader. She draws from many years of experience direct from the farm as well as a strong background in organic food , production, science and education.
Simon Bryant (ala TV's The Cook and the Chef) openned Latarnie's children's garden at the The Adelaide Showground Farmers Market in June which is a great hit with children and adults alike. Simon uses fresh produce from the garden for his cooking demonstrations and indeed has his own home kitchen garden! See what "Simon Says" at www.hospitalitymagazine.com.au/articles/3b/0c05723b.asp
