Big Little Farm — Local services in Melbourne

Brendan ran a great, informative and hands-on tools and construction workshop in which I learned a lot of practical skills. His patience with the group - who had varied experience with power tools - was carefully planned, taking us through explanations of some common power tools and how to use them safely. Set in an idyllic open workshop, and under Brendan's tutelage, the group put to practice the knowledge they had just learned and we collectively constructed a simple, raised garden bed by the end of the day.

Brendan's warm and friendly nature made the session all the more enjoyable, and a home cooked meal by his wife Caitlin for the lunch break - using produce grown on Big Little Farm - was amazing.

All in all, a wonderful experience. Thanks Brendan and Caitlin! Definitely recommend Big Little Farm for learning practical and self-reliant...

I don't think there is a better and more affordable way to learn. Caitlin also provided us with printable PDF step by step instructions, which was fantastic, and we were able to add our own notes. For anyone wanting to learn how to pressure can you own food and become more self-sufficient, I would definitely recommend doing lessons with...

Highly Recommend attending Big Little Farm, our time was well spent and the information and practical information was over and beyond our expectation. Both Brendan and Caitlin have such passion for real food, self reliance and sharing their knowledge and experience.

We will be back and look forward to learning more from you. Ohh and the food that Caitlin made for us was delicious...
