What's So Special About Farm To Table Experiences?
Learn How Your Food Is Made
Have you ever wondered what the process is to make pizza or even flour from scratch? Nowadays it’s rare that you know where your food comes from, let alone how to make it.
We want you to experience the satisfaction of creating healthy, nutrient rich foods right from the field. And hey, you might find a new passion while you’re at it!
All Natural Ingredients
In a world of highly processed foods, it’s nice to enjoy a meal knowing exactly what’s in it. When you join our Grain To Oven event, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that you and your family are eating quality all-natural foods!
