Wakeman Town Farm is taking their YOUNG CHEFS cooking class outdoors! With lots of space to socially distance, we can safely spread out with individual cooking prep areas while harvesting some of our fall bounty of veggies to whip up delicious culinary creations like fresh baked zucchini loaves, wood-fired pizza, zesty sesame noodles, and fruit galettes to name a few.  And, with our new wood-fired oven, this truly makes outdoor cooking a unique experience for our young chefs.

Whether your young adult has little or no experience in the kitchen, our goal is to create a sense of independence and self-reliance. Learning basic culinary techniques such as reading a recipe, knife skills & mise en place (recipe set-up), are some of the best life skills to help your teen feel confident in the kitchen as they begin to cook for themselves and others. For registration/availability, please reach out at wakemantownfarm.org
