Join us for a special IN-PERSON cooking class hosted by Hayden and Jane of Goodie Farm in Cherry Valley, California. Together, we invite you to join us for a hands-on Summer Farm Cooking Workshop, where we’ll cook and gather under the shade of 100-year-old heirloom apple trees at nearby Willowbrook Farm.
On The Menu:
🍞 Light refreshments on arrival

🥧 Wafu Miso Apple Pie
Made with heirloom apples from Oak Glen Farm, served with vanilla, ginger, cinnamon Amazake ice cream. Amazake is a naturally sweet, creamy fermented rice-based ice cream.
This is more than a cooking class—it's a celebration of summer, of friendship, and of slow, thoughtful food. After our meal, I’ll open a special pop-up pantry featuring a curated selection of my artisan pantry products like my curry powder, furikake, and more, available exclusively for guests of the workshop.
