Farm to Table Cooking

Summer is the perfect time to explore the culinary arts. What better way to do so than in the company of friends.

Campers will maintain and harvest produce grown at the WFS Organic Garden to be used throughout the week. Field trips to local farmers markets will provide campers with other fresh and healthy ingredients to supplement delicious recipes. The week will culminate with a picnic lunch at our off campus garden site at Bellevue State Park.
