Bhavana Organic Farm + Cooking School

Bhavana Organic Farm + Cooking School is a collaboration between three dear friends. Each bringing their individual talents and gifts to co collaborate in making this incredible dream, a lifestyle and reality, not a job.

An immersive and interactive paddock to plate experience, with a sprinkling of nutritional information, in the most GLORIOUS location, expansive grounds and gardens, a warm and welcoming, home style, cooking school environment and so many locations to choose from for a luxe long lunch, are all part of the beautiful experience, a hands-on day, with benefits that will last a lifetime.

Bhavana (Bhaa-vuh-naa) meaning ‘spiritual cultivation’ in Sanskrit, is at the heart of every experience we offer. We all decided on this as a name as this is what the farm, and this entire experience is for the three of us, and part of the experience we want our participants to leave with.

Our living philosophy is the simple and authentic understanding of food and its significance to our wellbeing and health. Food provides not only our living energy, but is the healing source for so many facets of our life.

We believe there is a natural pharmacy in every nurtured garden, and a little knowledge and willingness to learn, are the ingredients for creating physical health, emotional wellbeing and longevity of life.

All our workshops treat participants to an immersive experience, providing the opportunity to forage and gather from our organic gardens and orchards, allowing everyone to see, smell, feel and taste everything that is cooked. What cannot be harvested from our garden or paddocks is sourced from local Byron producers. Dishes are prepared and cooked as a group, then all sitting down together to delight in a lunch of what we’ve all prepared, paired with selected organic and biodynamic wines.

Our cooking classes and workshops are dedicated to providing exceptional experiences and education that enhances your life and wellbeing. We create a space for you to retreat to, to shutdown the noise of your busy life, it's demands and it's pressures, allowing you to immerse yourself in experiences that inform, educate, and inspire you to make healthier choices for you and your family.

Throughout the day with us, we’ll demystify the confusion around “real food” and “food trends” and empower participants to become their own health advocate whilst still enjoying the full culinary experience.

We provide a system for individuals to learn to interpret and navigate their own unique nutritional needs to maximise their health and vitality,

We help address the many food allergies and intolerances that individuals face today and provide clear direction on simple and delicious alternatives.

At Bhavana, inspiration and learning are at the heart of everything we do. We provide a nurturing, relaxing and fun cooking experience, free from the stresses of everyday and after spending a day with us, participants will take away skills and information that will enhance their lives and wellbeing.

Classes are limited to 10 participants and run from 9.00am-4.30pm.

Join in on your own, with your partner or better still grab some girlfriends and come and spend a magic filled day with us.
