Harvest
Kitchen
What if learning to cook meant learning to live? At Compass, our Harvest Kitchen is more than just a place to prepare food; it’s a training ground for life. Located on Compass Farm, this venue empowers up to eight trainees daily with real-world vocational opportunities and skills.
Under the guidance of a dedicated trainer, trainees learn a wide range of food preparation and production skills. But they don’t just learn—they contribute by providing home-cooked meals for the entire farm crew, gaining hands-on experience that goes far beyond a recipe book.
Our second team of Trainees works with our Enterprise Lead to produce a wide range of delicious condiments including chutneys, jams, pickles, sauces, flavoured salts, made from produce at the Farm and from other local suppliers.
These condiments are sold through various retail outlets, including our own Garden Café and Wabi Sabi Creations. Our homegrown Compass Honey is also sold across White’s IGA stores on the Sunshine Coast.
For many of our Trainees, working in Harvest Kitchen in the supported environment of the Farm is an important training ground and stepping stone into one of our customer-facing social enterprise Cafes – Garden Café or one of the Connections Cafés.
