About our Culinary Farm Tours

An important part of the Learn Great Foods mission is to educate consumers about where our food comes from and how it is grown. What better way than to directly connect people with the local farmers!

By touring area farms, you'll get an up-close look at the workings of a sustainable farm and also have the chance to ask local farmers and vintners questions about growing techniques. Tour destinations include organic beef and dairy farms, fruit/vegetable farms, wineries, creameries and local coffee roasters. This interactive experience will be one you won't soon forget!

All farms tours are followed by a hands-on cooking class, where a celebrated chef will use that day's fresh-from-the-farm bounty to help you make innovative culinary creations.

Rounding out the day is a relaxing alfresco dinner where you can sit back and enjoy your gourmet creation in a truly idyllic setting. Bon appetit!

Take the Taste Home!

Each tour (with cooking class and dinner) includes recipes and other notes that will help you have fun with your food planning and choices - in the weeks after your tour!
