Cooking Classes
We delight in cooking and preserving our farm fresh food. The joy expands when we learn new skills and recipes. Sharing our farm and culinary learning adventures is fun for us and so we invite you to join us in the fields or the farmhouse kitchen.
In addition to scheduled classes and events we can work with you to customize a farm experience or cooking class.

Pickles and Pickling
Pickling and canning isn’t just a focus at the end of the harvest season. You can pickle storage veggies in the winter too. We will lead you through the basics of pickling root vegetables and taste a range of farm fresh pickles.
Lard, Love, and Pies
As Jennifer McLagan notes in Fat; An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, rendering lard is ”so simple that you should really do it yourself. The advantage of rendering at home is that you can decide which fat to render and you can control its taste”. Whether you are all about simplicity and getting back to the basics or you are the more finicky, discerning foodie, we will ready you to render your own lard. In the class we’ll render leaf lard and work the finished product into a lovely pie.
