About Tiny Fork
Tiny Fork is a new food education studio based in regional Victoria, launched in January 2026.
And while we are still early in our story, the idea behind Tiny Fork has been forming for much longer.
It began with a simple observation: there are surprisingly few spaces, products or experiences that bring together nutrition education, creativity, early childhood and healthy food habits in a cohesive way.

Food is routine, storytelling, skill-building, connection and care.
And yet so much food education aimed at children still focuses narrowly on outcomes - what to eat, what not to eat, how to improve.
Tiny Fork is interested in something broader and more connected.
We create experiences, workshops and resources that help children and families build a healthy, lifelong relationship with food through curiosity, participation and shared experience.
Food is culture.
Food is memory.
Food is creativity.
That might look like:
-
cooking together,
-
growing confidence in the kitchen,
-
exploring ingredients with all the senses,
-
sharing meals,
-
telling stories,
-
learning practical skills,
-
or simply creating positive memories around food.
Our approach is grounded in creativity, hands-on and the realities that real life can throw at us (like peas being thrown at dinner time)
We believe nutrition matters deeply - but nutrition only works when it fits within the realities of people’s lives, communities, time, culture and capacity.
Tiny Fork is still very new, and we’re intentionally building it slowly - through workshops, community dinners, creative projects and practical experimentation.
While we’re early in the journey, what already feels clear is that there is real space for a different kind of food education culture: one that values connection just as much as information, creativity alongside nutrition, and shared experiences alongside practical skills.
We’re excited to keep shaping Tiny Fork alongside the families and communities who become part of it.
Who we are
Tiny Fork was founded by Anna Kingston, whose background spans community development, hospitality, creative practice and engagement work - experiences that now shape Tiny Fork’s approach to food education.
Alongside a growing network of collaborators, educators, cooks, artists and community-minded people, Tiny Fork is exploring new ways to make food education feel more creative, connected and grounded in real life.
While the project is still in its early stages, it is already being shaped by the people and communities gathering around it.
