On a sunlit Sunday at Woolooga Farm Kitchen you'll find a workshop that refuses to pick a single genre. Stir • Chat • Groove gathers in the Rosella Tent at Petersen’s Farm, Lot 4 Reilly Rd, Woolooga QLD 4570, where five hours stretch from arrival drink to a closing meditation and a communal lunch made together. The program—equal parts hands-on cooking class and silent-disco GROOVE session—was conceived by CC and Susanne to flip the idea of a farm day into something both playful and grounded.
The day begins with an opening circle under a canvas tent framed by rolling pastures and scattered eucalypt woodland. After morning tea and a quick land-breathing check-in, participants pick herbs and produce straight from the beds, then break into six small cooking stations in the Woolooga Farm Kitchen. Recipes are guided, ingredients are local, and everyone gets an inaugural branded apron to take home. The food culminates in a shared picnic-style lunch that tastes like the place itself—clean, green, and immediate.
Between chopping and sautéing comes movement. Groove uses silent-disco headsets supplied on arrival: the facilitator guides simple, joyful steps so anyone can join, even without dance experience. At times you’ll be moving barefoot in the grass; other moments ask for gentle focus in a soulful play session designed to loosen the muscles that modern life tightens. Whoever you are—novice cook, reluctant dancer, or someone simply hungering for community—this event sets low technical barriers but asks for openness.
What makes this stand out in the Gympie hinterland is the choreography between land and ritual. It’s a working farm that turns its produce into a social practice: picking, cooking, and eating together while music threads the day. The small group cap of 12 keeps it intimate, and the Rosella Tent acts as a communal living room where conversation is as much a course as the meal.
Practical notes: the session runs roughly five hours, is age-restricted to adults, and asks attendees to wear comfortable clothes and bring a second T-shirt (you will get wet in playful ways). The event’s low-impact format—headsets instead of loudspeakers, on-site produce, and guided waste minimization—keeps noise and footprint down while amplifying what matters: food, movement, and human connection on a Queensland farm. Spots are small—only 12 guests per session—so book ahead; early-bird tickets were offered at AUD 139 before 15 February 2026. The meeting point is the Rosella Tent at the Petersen's Farm and participants should be between 18 and 80 years old. Hosts CC and Susanne keep the tone relaxed but structured, and every station is fully guided with all food, drinks, utensils, and headsets provided. Come ready to work, dance, laugh, and leave with an apron and a full plate.
