OVERVIEW

Walk through the fields of an organic farm to see how the produce is grown and sample herbal teas at the on-site restaurant. The venue for this farm-to-table immersion will be Tukuni, an acclaimed restaurant that serves Indo-Fijian cuisine. The ingredients for every dish are locally sourced from Tukuni’s own farm, other organic farms and local fishermen. Not a single raw material is imported so as to protect the Fijian suppliers that were severely affected by the Category 5 cyclone that devastated Fiji in 2016. Tukuni not only wants to inspire Fijians to produce and preserve their own natural foods but also to encourage visitors to do the same once they return home. To this end, you will watch a demonstration of a solar dryer that eliminates moisture from fruits and vegetables so they can be readily available year-round. You will sample the farm’s organic teas while learning about solar dehydration.
