We offer a variety of classes at the farm. These are on limited size classes with great ingredients working directly under the expert guidance of Bill Jones. We can also do larger demonstration classes that teach the student valuable information on the topic (ie. wild mushrooms) and offer a delicious sampling of the dishes after the demo. Check the details on each class for more information.
Our classes are popular gifts through our Gift Certificate program. Please click on the link for details. We also offer private classes on request. Hands on classes are also available for singles or couples.
These classes are opportunities to expand your culinary horizons cooking with the finest local ingredients and working at the side of an accomplished chef and culinary instructor. Classes include a valuable primer on the topic and recipes to follow along in class and back home. Suitable for all levels of cooking skill but a prime opportunity for those looking to develop their skills and to ignite their creativity. Bill is the author of 12 cookbooks including The Deerholme Farm series (mushrooms, foraging and vegetables) and is a recognized regional expert on mushrooms and wild foods.
