MasterChef 2013 winner Emma Dean, who grew up on a hobby farm just outside Bendigo, didn’t lack for space as a child.
The former town planner and professional cyclist-turned chef grew her own vegetables and raised chooks on her parents’ property at Epsom.
But at the two-day Craigieburn Festival next weekend, the 37-year-old will teach people how to grow food in small gardens and other tricks of the trade for those with limited space.
Ms Dean will provide one of many highlights at a festival that attracts big crowds.
This year’s festival is at DS Aitken Reserve, with Ms Dean’s presentation scheduled between 11am and 2pm on Sunday, February 28.
Other highlights will include a wildlife show, singers, camel rides, a torchlight parade and children’s cooking workshops.
