Good From Scratch is a farm-based cookery school on a 13-acre farm at 376 Taiapa Road in Muriwai, on Auckland's west coast, about 45 minutes from the city. Classes are built around the farm. Guests can pick and gather ingredients from the kitchen gardens and orchard, and the school offers full-day farm classes, butchery classes that break down a whole animal, and lamb, pig and fish classes that focus on smoke and fire cooking. There are also garden and demonstration classes for smaller or casual groups. The school hosts birthdays, work functions, Christmas parties and corporate off-sites, and it sells salts, rubs and cookbooks in its farm shop. The farm was bought in 2015, and the school opened in January 2020. The cooking and garden instructors are chefs who have worked in London and Ireland and opened the restaurant Molten in Mt Eden. The school also runs a monthly journal.
