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.

Cooking Classes‍‍

Our classes are capped at 16 people per class. You will receive a confirmation email upon booking and a reminder email within 24 hours prior to the event confirming date and time of class. If you have a dietary restriction, please email info@turnerfarm.org at least three days prior to the event with specifics. We will do our best to accommodate all requests.

No outside liquor can be brought onto our property at any time.

Upon arriving for your class, please park in the designated “event parking” area halfway up our driveway. Our Farm Market is open to the public so we reserve the parking spaces near the Farm Market for those customers only. Prior to class starting, you will be asked to review and sign a liability waiver.
