The after-dinner fireplace chats are a special bonus of this get-away-from-routine weekend! The after-breakfast workshop discussions are a continuation of the far-ranging and intriguing Learn Great Foods dinner and fireplace discussions... held before embarking on the day's culinary farm tours...
Whether touring buffalo and chicken farms, organic gardens, fisheries, coffee roasters, wineries, or specialty gourmet and natural foods markets, the knowledge and passion of "Up-North" Northern Michigan and Mississippi River Heartland culinary artisans is offered to you in two-day food adventures. Workshop presentations will lead to lively discussions of food security, food safety, organic suppliers, and the best way to start a bernaise sauce! And the cooking classes - and our focus on learning new culinary techniques and trying new organic ingredients (buffalo anyone?) from farms we have visited - make for a delicious, and nurturing, menu.
