Learn
Food education is what we do.
The modern world has made us all go backwards in self-sufficiency to the point where we no longer have the knowledge on how to can, chop, butcher, forage, and source/cook local ingredients from scratch. We work to help you learn how to do all of these things again.
We offer:
In-home, personalized classes where a family or group of people can decide the topic they want to learn and we come to your home to teach you the topic of choice.
Public cooking classes and other food education events that are welcome to anyone and cost $0-$65/ person typically.
A 16-week hybrid course from May-September that covers all topics relating to eating a 100% local diet in Minnesota. We cover basic topics like food sourcing to more complicated ones like pressure canning food for the winter

Read
We know your time is limited. Sometimes making it to a cooking class or coordinating one seems daunting- and that’s okay.
We want to meet you where you are at which is why we have our From-Scratch blog that covers all the topics we know people struggle with and want to learn about when it comes to food.
We cover topics like:
Culinary and medicinal herbs
Food sourcing
Culinary basics and how they impact nutrition
Canning and preserving
Foraging and cultivating
Brands and food certifications

Collaborate
We are stronger together.
This is why we take applications from food businesses, farms, nonprofits, and other organizations for community-oriented collaborations.
This could be anything from a food demonstration at a farmers market, to designing a program that helps people easily access local food, to getting licensing sorted out to host on-farm dinners for your communities…
The opportunities are endless, and we want to help make them a reality.
