Volunteer & Learn Sessions
A pool of master gardeners and permaculture practitioners will lead these volunteer and learn sessions at the Goodman Community Farm. Currently, these sessions are led by permaculture designer, Jumi who will be guiding these “gotong-royong” or “permaculture blitz” volunteer sessions.
Volunteer & Learn sessions are family-friendly and FREE but you are required to sign up so we can plan activities accordingly.
Scheduled for one Saturday a month in the mornings or afternoons.
Grow, Cook and Make Workshop
This workshop, hosted by Linda Tom, will showcase the versatility of unexpectedly simple and ubiquitous ingredients found in our markets and at the Goodman Community Farm—sweet potato leaves. She will demonstrate how to prepare the following dishes all requiring minimal cooking - Korean sweet potato leaf banchan, Filipino kamote top salad
and a fragrant sweet potato leaf and basil pesto.
After exploring many different ways to use the sweet potato leaves, participants will join together to prepare and chop freshly harvested herbs for a dish that is a regional favourite - Nasi Ulam.
