Our cooking classes are a one-of-a-kind experience. You’ll be cooking a meal; all focused on the farm’s produce we are visiting. We bring all the equipment to have a fully functioning kitchen on a farm!
This class will be unique, as you can drop into the class anytime from 8am – 12 noon! Once you arrive, you’ll sign in, grab some local coffee or tea, and meet Fallon from the Sprouting Kitchen and farmer Lorenzo. Then you’ll get to pick some delicious blackberries from the farm (which are currently bursting with abundance!!). Next you’ll get cooking, and we’ll be making a blackberry compote and blue corn pancakes. Lastly, you can enjoy your pancakes and compote with a beautiful farm view!
Adults can chose to pay $20, $25, or $30 dollars, with kids (under 15) eating for free! When checking out, please purchase one ticket per adult.
This historic farm is led by Lorenzo Candelaria, a 7th generation, Hispanic, Native American, farmer. Lorenzo is local-farm icon, as he loves to impart his teachings of sustainability and mindfulness to everyone who visits his farm. His famous line is that “they grow many crops on the farm, but harvest only one thing: consciousness”. An experience on Lorenzo’s farm is always special and unique.
The farm is located in the South Valley of Albuquerque (see below for address).
This class is for someone who wants a unique cooking experience. You’ll learn about local farms, sustainability, nutrition, and cooking techniques. Our recipes focus on teaching you how to utilize and cook with seasonal produce, but it doesn’t matter if you are a vegetarian, vegan, or carnivore – we all need to eat more plants!
Whether you’re a beginner or more seasoned cook, everyone can learn from our classes. We always have extra staff who can help with additional instruction if needed.
If you have dietary restrictions, please let us know before class, as we can usually accommodate them! We can make pancakes that are vegan and/or gluten free if we know ahead of time.
We are following the CDC’s recommendation: if you are vaccinated, you don’t need to wear a mask, but if you are not vaccinated, then please wear a mask. Our classes are outdoors, which provides lots of great air ventilation. If the host farm has a specific safety protocol in place, we will be following their protocol.
We will have gloves and masks available at all classes. We will also be sanitizing all of our cooking surfaces and equipment. We will be minimizing the amount cooking equipment is shared between participants. If participants are not feeling well and need to cancel, see our policy below.
