    NATIVE FOOD COOKING EXPERIENCE

    Join Mindy Woods — proud Bundjalung woman, chef, and Queen of Native Food — for an immersive, hands-on cooking experience like no other.

    Hosted on the stunning regenerative organic farm, Conscious Ground, this in-person workshop begins with a guided native food tour, where you’ll connect deeply with Country and the seasonal ingredients grown on site.

    Along the way, Mindy will share Bundjalung knowledge, stories, and insights into the cultural and nutritional wisdom of First Nations foodways.

    Back in the kitchen, you’ll roll up your sleeves for a seasonal native food cooking class, learning how to transform fresh local produce and native ingredients into vibrant chef worthy meals.

    Expect plenty of storytelling, laughter, and connection as we cook, share, and taste together.
