Matthew Evans is a chef by trade who is also the host of Gourmet Farmer on SBS. He is an advocate for sustainable seafood and is a strong believer in knowing and trusting what you eat. Fat Pig Farm is an extension of this philosophy, where we do as we preach; growing and rearing as much food as we can for the table. Fat Pig Farm, a 70acre property is located in the beautiful Huon Valley, south of Hobart, where they adopt a paddock to plate concept.

This training follows the introductory day of training offered in 2017, and in June this year. It will focus on the ‘how’ of doing infant led practice allowing plenty of time for discussion and integration of practice. A case presentation from an audience member will be invited as well as an opportunity to explore a case through reflective supervision.
