Culinary Retreat


Culinary Retreat

New this fall will be a weekend culinary retreat at the farm; November 3-5. In addition to three cooking classes, there will be ample time to roam the farm, walk the trails help collect eggs and feed animals. The farm has its own herb garden and we will utilize fresh vegetables from our farm or local farms where possible and our own natural eggs, lamb, chicken, beef and pork.

Chef Eva will seek input for the class menus in advance of the retreat.The weekend will start with snacks and complimentary wine on your arrival Friday late afternoon or evening. Saturday morning (after farm chores for those that want to participate) will be a continental breakfast. You can participate in preparing the breakfast at your option. All of the classes are hands on and the participants will be divided into small teams to work on different menu items. There will also be demonstration of culinary techniques. The morning class will focus on using fresh vegetables and fruit for a menu that is lighter and healthy. There will be a break after lunch. The late afternoon class will be hearty and feature meat dishes, seasonal vegetables, a unique dessert and complementary wine. Sunday morning the class will focus on a farm house breakfast with a twist. The Saturday classes will be 3-4 hours depending on the complexity of the menu.

Minimum participation for the retreat will be eight persons (cabin has queen bed and queen sofa bed) sharing the four log cabins. The loft is available for other participants (queen bed and twin in downstairs bedroom, queen bed in loft, and queen sofa bed if needed) Cost is $450 per person (assuming two persons in a cabin or loft). Additional participants in the same cabin or loft is $350. State taxes apply only to the cabin rental and not the classes. Gratuity optional. We are very flexible in making the accommodation arrangements. For more information or to make a reservation please call 903-645-3232 or text 903-452-9738.

"yu kyaahn travl pahn emti stomak"
(Literally, this means you cannot travel on an empty stomach in Belizean creole)
Not everyone knows that Chef Eva was born and raised in Belize until she left for university.  Her earliest recollections are being in the kitchen when meals were prepared or eating Belizean street food when shopping or after school walking home.  The food of Belize has more character than Latin cuisine and has been influenced by the cuisine of the Caribbean islands and Africa.  What is prepared for this class are some of the most popular foods of Belize. We did not include the cow foot soup or salted pig tails

Fish panades with Belizean hot onion
Rice and beans with fried plantains
Belizean meatballs
Johnny cakes with coconut milk
Individual Meat pies
Coconut tart

Cooking with Spirits

Cooking With Spirits
Farm to Fork Cooking Class
Saturday, July 20, 2013 at the Farm
11:00 AM $85


Farm to Fork Cooking Class

Much has been said and written about the evils of rum, but when it comes to using sprits in cooking it’s another matter.  Can you  imagine how American cuisine suffered when we were forced to use bootleg Canadian whiskey or Arkansas moonshine in our kitchen.  The spirits we will use in this class bring out flavors you will be amazed by.  Don’t worry if you have qualms about consuming spirits.  These spirits will be cooked out and only their savory flavor will remain. 

Grilled goat cheese and gin crostini with orange salsa
Ice tomato and vodka soup
Portabella crabs Rockefeller with Pernod
Drunken mushrooms with brandy
Pepper steak with chive butter and cognac
Peach cassis parfait with champagne
