Taste of the Farm Experience Showcases Seasonal Cooking and Garden-Fresh Flavors


Taste of the Farm invites guests to enjoy a warm and immersive culinary experience where seasonal ingredients, simple cooking, and shared dining take center stage. Hosted at Hapuku Kitchen, the experience begins with a relaxed introduction to the dayā€™s menu, accompanied by locally roasted coffee, fragrant teas, and freshly baked treats. This welcoming start sets the tone for a journey that celebrates the connection between fresh produce, regional flavors, and mindful cooking.


The experience continues with a leisurely walk through the property's flourishing gardens, where participants harvest fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs directly from the source. Surrounded by vibrant greenery and the natural aromas of the garden, guests gain a deeper appreciation for the seasonal ingredients that will form the foundation of the dishes they prepare. The garden visit offers a meaningful connection to the land and the rhythms of local food production.


Back in the kitchen, participants work together to create a selection of beautifully crafted dishes using freshly picked produce and ingredients sourced from nearby local producers. Throughout the session, expert guidance provides practical cooking techniques, creative tips, and valuable insights into bringing out the best in every ingredient. The hands-on approach makes the experience enjoyable for cooks of all skill levels.


The experience concludes with a relaxed shared feast enjoyed around the table, accompanied by regional wines or craft beers, as well as refreshing house-made non-alcoholic beverages such as sparkling elderflower and cucumber drinks. Blending garden-to-table cooking, local hospitality, and communal dining, Taste of the Farm offers a memorable half-day experience that celebrates the simple pleasures of cooking, sharing, and savoring seasonal food.

Had an absolute blast and spent hours here! A lot of the activities are of course children-oriented, but they were totally suitable for adults as well. I loved the variety of animals there were to see up close (cows, sheep, chicken, goats, pigs) as well as the demonstrations available. The entire estate was beautiful to just walk around in and explore (woodland trail, gardens). I also did a guided tour at the Overends House and the tour guide was wonderful--friendly, knowledgable, and catered to all ages present. The Overends Kitchen had delicious food and there were a ton of vegan/vegetarian options. Extra plus for sustainability and sourcing the food from their own farm!
