Let the S.O.U.L Cooking Class Season begin! Fresh & Wyld is famous for being the home of delicious S.O.U.L food cooking, and our farmhouse chefs are ready to share their secrets with you! S.O.U.L. food is held to the highest nutritional and sustainable standards. It stands for Seasonal, Organic, Unprocessed and Local, and we’ll show you how to make feeling good taste good.

Oct. 20st: First Fall Cooking Lesson with Chefs Dava & John

Time to get those pots a bubbling and get that big old oven cranking out sexy Fall delights.  We want to try out a new evening class format. You’ll come in for an affordable educational experience and have the opportunity to enjoy the dinner you helped prepare.

Spend a beautiful fall Saturday evening navigating your way around seasonal, local and organic dishes with Chefs Dava Parr and John Garrison in the Fresh & Wyld kitchen. Healthy cooking can be gourmet, and Dava and John, our seasoned and experienced chefs, will show you how!

We’re keeping the class size small so you’ll receive personal instruction and guidance from our chefs. If you’re taking the class, invite a couple of folks to dinner and make sure that everyone RSVP’s. This will be a rare and special opportunity to experience an intimate class and dining experience here at the farmhouse. Class is limited to 7 participants and 20 overall Diners….
 Want to Skip The Cooking, and just Eat?

If you wish to come to a superb and lively dinner and not participate in the class, we would still love to have you this Saturday. This three course meal is a steal, and is sure to be a new Fall highlight at the Fresh & Wyld Farmhouse. Look for the S.O.U.L. cooking classes in the months to come, and join us for the dinner afterwards. We will continue our Friday night dinners into the fall as well, in case these Saturday’s become so popular that they fill up, and you are suffering from a bad case of Farmhouse food cravings.

Beginner’s and Experts are welcome! To cook and to dine!

Thursday

6 p.m. The Fall Brawl w/ Devon Meyers

Don’t worry. We won’t be throwing down fistacuffs… But we will be getting our folk-rock on with one of the best folks around: Mr. Devon Meyers. We’ll also be chowing on some amazing harvest-inspired Indian food made lovingly by our very own Chef Dava Parr. The $20 admission includes food and tunes. Drinks extra. $10 for tunes a la carte.

Friday

4-7 p.m. Art, Wine & Wood-Fired Garden Pizza Party

Join us on Friday to celebrate the completion of our wood-fired pizza oven! If you want to hear us brag about our favorite summer project, then this Friday will be your kind of night.

We’re trading in our usual Friday dinner for something a little more casual and cultured. We’ll get together with our favorite artists to show off the season’s best local collections. Then we’ll pair the finest wine the valley has to offer with our debut Garden Pizza for an unforgettable mixer.

Wander around the property at sunset, with a glass of wine in one hand, a slice of fresh pizza in the other, saying the word “maaaaarvelous” like it’s going out of style.

 Saturday

5 p.m. The “Throw Your Hoe Down And Party” Party

We’re planning a good ole fashioned hoedown. While we would never throw around a perfectly good garden tool, we will be throwing down our best BBQ and tossing around words like “Yeehaw!” and “Knee slappin!” We’ll also be two-stepping back in time with The Queen City Ragtime Ensemble. We’re serving BBQ from 4-7p.m. ($10) and the music starts at 5 p.m. ($15).

Sunday

11 a.m. Putting the Garden To Bed
 
Help us tuck the garden in for a long winter’s nap. We won’t be telling it bedtime stories, but we will be showing you exactly what we do to prepare the beds for the next season during a workshop led by one of our talented farmers.
We’ll also feature some apple pressing demos in the morning, and we’ll wind down the day with a warming and comforting chili luncheon. Spend an entire day learning, doing, and eating with us for only $30… workshop, demo and lunch included.

Call 970-527-4374 or email Dava to make reservations.
