Cooking Classes

Teaching Kitchen

Eating local, seasonal food has enormous benefits for our health, environment, and economy. But first you have to cook it. We designed the Turner Farm Teaching Kitchen in consultation with the Culinary Institute of America to teach people to do just that. With a focus on health and wellness, our Executive Chef’s cooking classes give food enthusiasts of all skill levels the knowledge and confidence to cook nutritious and delicious meals. All classes offer a true farm-to-table experience, utilizing the freshest ingredients from Turner Farm or other local farmers and producers.

Barn Studio

Cooking classes are held in our exquisitely renovated 100-year-old barn. What was once the farm workshop is now a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen with eight, two-person cooking stations—the perfect setup for intimate, hands-on workshops. The dining room, which was previously the art studio of Turner Farm founder Bonnie Mitsui, is rustic yet comfortable.
