Young Cooks & Farmers - Week 8: The Final Scoop
with Yellow Farmhouse Educators
Ages: 6 - 12
August 25th - 28th, 9:30am - 12:30pm, $50 per day
Our Young Cooks & Farmers program brings children ages 6 - 12 to Yellow Farmhouse Education Center to experience sustainable farming and seasonal cooking. Children work with farmers and culinary educators to investigate and explore a regenerative farm, grow and harvest produce, and prepare farm-fresh recipes.
Week Eight: The Final Scoop. Churn up flavor with homemade ice creams and sorbets. We’ll use late summer produce to make tried and true favorites like peach ice cream and raspberry sorbet, and experiment with new flavors like basil ice cream and sweet corn sorbet. Each day will be a new set of recipes.
