Savor the flavors of the season with a farm-to-table cooking class

These seasonal workshops blend gardening, harvesting, and hands-on cooking into one immersive afternoon. Set on a 10-acre working farm, Farmbelly invites guests to roll up their sleeves, grab a basket, and get cooking—literally.

A Culinary Class Where You Pick Your Own Ingredients

The adventure begins in the garden, where participants take a guided tour of the farm’s lush produce beds before getting hands-on in the harvest. You’ll gather just-picked vegetables, herbs, and fruit, then head to the open-air kitchen to prep and cook a meal inspired by the season’s best offerings.

Workshops are capped at just 10 people, so expect a relaxed, intimate environment where there’s plenty of time to ask questions, learn techniques, and taste as you go. The focus is on seasonal eating, basic knife skills, and simple preparations that let the freshness of the ingredients shine.

When the cooking is done, everyone sits down to enjoy the meal together—surrounded by the same landscape that produced the food on your plate.

Make new friends and learn new cooking techniques on the farm.

Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just someone who loves to eat, Farmbelly gives you the chance to experience food at its freshest—and make a memory you can taste.
