Do you belong to a CSA or love getting fresh, beautiful produce from your local farmers market? Sometimes those gorgeous products can be so impressive that you can’t help but grab some up, but you might not be sure what to do with them once you get home. If you’re unsure what to do and don’t want that produce to go to waste, you’re going to want to hit up the Intuitive Cooking Experience at The Farm on May 22nd.
From 10am until 12pm on the Botanica patio you’ll be able to learn where your produce is coming from and how you can replenish your body by learning the skills of intuitive cooking. The Farm at South Mountain will be host to Melanie Albert of Experience Nutrition and their on-site grower Maya Dailey for a unique opportunity for a private tour of The Farm’s certified organic farm. This tour will be followed by a hands-on demonstration of intuitively cooking a light lunch.
You’ll learn valuable cooking skills such as making the perfect salad dressing every time all the while enjoying the sense of community and learning to cook intuitively with fresh and organic ingredients directly from The Farm. You will also learn to make a raw kale and fruit salad, Maya’s heirloom tomato gazpacho and bamboo steamer carrots with fresh pickled herbs. At the completion of the class, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Maya’s Farm stand so that you can purchase your own organic produce so that you can hone your new skills at home. You’re guaranteed to have a morning full of invaluable information and you’ll definitely leave with a better understanding of how to feed your body for optimum health with a focus on big flavor.
You can register for the class up until May 20th, but space will be limited so be sure to do so as soon as possible.
The Farm At South Mountain is located at 6106 S. 32nd Street in Phoenix.
