Fresh from the Vine - All Things Tomato
Join Us in this hands on cooking class to learn how to utilize the abundant harvest of summer and create delicious, fresh food.
Experience a hands-on cooking class for adults, starting with harvesting fresh, in season ingredients in the garden and ending with a farm-to-table meal.
Our Farm to Fork adult series of cooking classes teaches you how to prepare dishes using seasonal produce you would find at your local farmer’s market or growing in your backyard! We’ll begin with a sensory exploration of The Ecology Center’s orchard, veggie and herb gardens, and end with the preparation and enjoyment of a meal.
Look forward to amazing recipes, coming soon!
