Good health starts at home in the kitchen and garden. Cooking meals with ingredients picked from the garden, purchased from a farmers market or grocery store selling organic products will build health. Ingredient choices are very important. Herbs are medicinal and support health in delicious ways.  Again the theme of our classes is "back to basics": cooking like our grandmothers and great grandmothers once did.  Think back! Our future is in our past.

Many maybe most of our health problems are caused by the food we eat; stress contributes too. Plan to cook more this year to control the ingredients in the food you consume. The food will be delicious and we'll have many tips on preparation . All of our recipes are prepared "from scratch" meaning nothing from boxes or cans with long ingredient lists.

Include the whole family in cooking, baking, cleanup. Cook meals ahead so as to never be caught without a quick homemade meal. 

Our year end annual event: Wreath making in the barn. The custom of bringing greens inside the home at winter solstice and Christmas dates back hundreds of years. Continue the tradition by making your very own decorations with fresh cut evergreens, holly, ivy, pinecones, mistletoe and other natural items. We'll work in the barn, listen to holiday tunes, and sip hot tea and spicy cider. This class is a celebration of the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and father time; many participants return year after year! All materials are provided, but feel free to bring special items from your home or yard that you would like to add. Cost: $30 or $50 for two.   Reservation and contact information appears below.
