Garden Vibes returns to Little Farms Serangoon Gardens on Saturday 23 May, in partnership with MyVillage, bringing together a farmers’ market, hands-on workshops and all-day community programming. Now in its third edition, this year explores the theme Flourish, centred on a simple idea: how we eat every day shapes how we feel, function and look.
Running from 9am to 6pm, the event is set up as an open day where visitors can browse, taste and learn at their own pace. Structured around four zones, Glow, Strength, Gut and Joy, Garden Vibes offers a clear, practical way to think about food.
Learn, Taste and Create: A Day of Hands-On Workshops
A key focus for 2026 is a line-up of interactive workshops designed to bring visitors closer to the food they eat. Running throughout the day, these sessions offer simple, practical ways to make more informed choices at home.
The programme opens with a Build Your Own Gut-Loving Bowl session with COYO, exploring how to assemble balanced meals using gut-friendly ingredients. Known for its dairy-free coconut yoghurt made with minimal, real ingredients, COYO brings a straightforward approach to supporting everyday gut health.
This is followed by Eat Like a Detective: Finding the Hidden Monsters in Everyday Food, a one-hour workshop with Sandra Lim and Hannah Oh for both adults and children. Adults will unpack sugars, additives and ultra-processed ingredients, gaining tools to better understand labels and make informed choices. Children take part in hands-on activities, exploring sugar content, identifying “food monsters” and creating their own, before making simple, nutritious energy balls.
Later in the day, a guided olive oil tasting with Beit Ballout, paired with Starter Lab sourdough, offers a closer look at ingredients and flavour. The Art of Cheese introduces a range of styles and profiles, while a Wine and Cheese pairing brings together a selection of wines and cheeses in a more relaxed setting.
Cooking takes a more functional turn with Good For You Cooking Club led by nutritionist Karmen Tang. In this session, she explores how food can support a calmer, more balanced lifestyle, combining a short nutrition talk with simple, no-cook recipes designed for everyday use. This sits alongside a demonstration by Little Farms’ Group Executive Chef Rizan, who will share quick, high-protein meals suited to daily routines.
Together, the workshops reflect a shift towards understanding food in a more applied way, not just what to eat, but how and why. Full workshop timings and details can be found online, with prices starting from $12.
Meet the Makers: All-Day Farmers’ Market
At the centre of Garden Vibes is the all-day farmers’ market, where shoppers can meet the people behind the products. Over the past decade, Little Farms has travelled widely to build a network of trusted, ethical suppliers, sourcing ingredients free from harmful additives and unnecessary processing. Garden Vibes brings these producers together in one place, offering the chance to taste, ask questions and understand where food comes from.
The market is structured around four zones, Glow, Strength, Gut and Joy, reflecting how people eat in real life, moving between nourishment, function and enjoyment throughout the day.
Glow focuses on ingredients linked to everyday nourishment. This includes products rich in healthy fats and whole ingredients, with brands such as COYO yoghurt and Butterdays sitting alongside Beit Ballout olive oil from a family-run farm in Lebanon, and fresh produce from Spore Gardens and Hydrogreens.
Strength centres on protein and meals that support energy and daily routines. Green Meadows Beef anchors this section, a family-run New Zealand farm exclusive to Little Farms, offering fully traceable, grass-fed Angus. It sits alongside high-protein and functional options from Huel, Nutra Organics and Health Lab, as well as staples such as Rummo pasta.
Little Farms will bring its signature offering to Garden Vibes with a dedicated booth serving Good Ol’ Green Meadows burgers, made with premium grass-fed Angus from Green Meadows. A pioneer of functional beverages, Little Farms will also be the exclusive drinks provider, presenting a curated range including Rose Kombucha, Coffee Culture brews and a probiotic Earl Grey with yuzu foam.
Gut looks at digestion and balance, with a focus on fermented and minimally processed products. Starter Lab sourdough and Casa Vecchio crackers paired with Dipsy Dip highlight a more thoughtful approach to everyday eating.
Joy brings everything back to enjoyment. This includes Fossa Chocolate, Kris Lloyd Artisan Cheese, wines from Tapi Wines, Dandelion Wines, Portugal Wines and Small Things Wines, and Tiny But Mighty beer.
Across the market, the mix reflects how people actually shop and eat, moving between fresh ingredients, everyday staples and moments of indulgence. It is also a chance to connect directly with producers and better understand what goes into the food on your plate.
Garden Vibes remains, at its core, a community event. Families can move between the market and workshops throughout the day, while children take part in face painting, tote bag decorating and balloon sculpting. The event is open to all, with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, and dogs are welcome.
Kenneth Lee, Assistant Director, Communications, MyVillage, said:
“Health is truly wealth, and empowering our community to live and eat with wholesome abundance is a core tenet of Garden Vibes. Through our partnership with Little Farms, we are proud to bring this shared mission to life, creating a platform that inspires people to make more mindful choices around food, wellness and everyday living.”
Tom Gray, Commercial Director of Little Farms, added:
“Connecting people more closely to the source of their food has always been at the heart of Little Farms’ mission. Garden Vibes is one of my favourite events of the year because it brings the makers and producers front and centre, giving our community the chance to engage directly with the people behind what they eat. As interest in functional nutrition continues to grow, this year’s theme, Flourish, feels especially apt.”
