Join us at the Middlebrook Farmhouse for a seasonal cooking series with Mosa Shayan, Middlebrook Farm Manager and Brandy Shayan, The Grateful Chef!

As Brandy prepares a delicious, seasonally inspired dish using ingredients from Middlebrook's garden, the pair will share their tips and tricks for cooking with fresh, farm-grown ingredients. This class is perfect for anyone who loves healthy food, fresh flavors, and gathering around the table. Whether you’re an experienced home cook or just getting started, you’ll leave with inspiration for your own kitchen.

At the end of the demonstration, attendees will get to sample Brandy’s creation and enjoy the flavors of the season together. The farm stand will also be open for those that would like to purchase the produce used.

Please note: We are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions for this event.
