SOLD OUT! Summer Cooking for Kids

Seed-to-Table Cooking Camp: Welcome to the Farm! Classes are almost full!

July 13-16, August 10-13 - Each week offers different themes, menus and skills! 4 Days of Camp

Time: 9:00-12:00
Ages: 6-12
Max: 14
$420/week (includes instruction, materials and ingredients). Lunch is included!

Ready to see where your food really comes from? This summer, step into the magic of Wakeman Town Farm for a hands-on culinary adventure. Each week offers new recipes and culinary adventures! At the Farm, our campers don’t just cook; they experience the full cycle of seed-to-plate food production. Each morning begins in the gardens, where we’ll forage and harvest peak-season ingredients straight from the soil. Then, we’ll move into the kitchen to chop, sauté, and transform our fresh finds into seasonal dishes.

Under the guidance of our expert instructors, young chefs will explore bold new flavors, master essential kitchen teamwork, and build confidence. At the end of the day we gather at the table to share the delicious dishes we’ve created.

July 13-16. Summer BBQ: Grillin’ and Chillin’.  Sample fare: We will learn how to make a marinade and BBQ sauce for proteins and seasonal veggies. Aspiring chefs will learn how to use a meat thermometer and to check doneness.  Sample Fare: We will cool down by learning how to make summer corn salad with herbs from the Farm and enjoy a build-your-own potato bar. We will finish with a refreshing granita with lemon, WTF thyme and honey.  Each chef will  go home with a bouquet of herbs from the garden to enjoy getting creative at home.

August 10-13. The Seasonal Compass: Navigating the Farm Kitchen  bridges the gap between the garden and the plate. Cooking is more than just following a recipe; it is an act of observation. By foraging and harvesting our own ingredients, we learn to respect the seasons and understand how "peak freshness" changes the flavor of a dish. Sample fare:

Heirloom Tomato & Basil: Mastering the art of rustic pastry. Ribbons of Zucchini Spaghetti with garden-fresh tomatoes and peppers. WTF Panzanella Salad with rustic sourdough croutons, aromatics and a balsamic vinaigrette. Garden Pizza with pesto using WTF herbs. Our sweet treat will be a farmstand berry galette.
