OVERVIEW
Take a walk with us through a sprawling North Carolina farmstead, where farmers and artisans cultivate nutrient-rich land and engage all the senses. On a seven day stay, you’ll find yourself in good company among beekeepers, and cheesemakers, along with lively conversation about sustainable agriculture and how to lead a food-centered life. Here, the immersion into farm culture will be made complete as you prepare fresh, farm-sourced ingredients to craft seasonal and wildly flavorful dishes under the masterful guidance of chefs, artisans, and local farmers. The abundance doesn’t have to end with a wide range of cooking techniques and plentiful meals—there will be time to journey into the green space of our region and experience the thrill of canoeing down the rushing waters of Haw River. Beginning at the communal farm table and extending to the natural landscapes that surround it, our trip offers the unique opportunity to blend travel and life experience with culinary skill development.
