Cooking Classes

Taught by a Professional Chef turned Farmer, our classes are more than just sharing recipes but understanding how to balance flavors, the why behind the technique and of course, knife skills.

Our cooking classes (featured in USA Today, Budget Travel Magazine, Food & Wine, The Guardian & more) are hands-on & truly from the 'farm to the table' with the first stop down to the garden farm to collect fresh fruits & veggies!  Everything we eat is local & seasonal!
