Cooking Stays

Farm Weekends

Offered February–November

We welcome you to join us at the farm for a weekend of cooking, eating and relaxing. For the past 17 years we have enjoyed sharing our farm, kitchen and table with a lot of fascinating people. it is a perfect setting for a rich exchange between mostly city folk and our rural lifestyle.

Our traditional format includes 4 hands-on meals and two nights in our cottages or room with a view. For serious cooks or those really seeking knowledge it really is the best option. Over the course of our weekend we include many different ingredients, techniques, and flavors, and there is plenty of time to answer questions and delve into our subjects. We send you home stimulated and inspired with a rejuvenated sense of what it means to live the good life.

The class costs $1800 per couple and includes meals, recipes, instruction, and wines, as well as two nights in a guest cottage or our room with a view.

A simple Saturday breakfast of coffee and toast (with our homemade jams) is provided. Guests help prepare and enjoy Friday and Saturday dinners, Saturday lunch, and Sunday brunch. For a more detailed description of our weekend classes, download this pdf.

Relaxed Farm Weekends

We are aware that there is a whole group of people who might be interested in a less cooking intensive experience, but would still like to enjoy the farm and the rest of what Anderson Valley has to offer.

Our RELAXED FARM WEEKEND includes a Friday and Saturday night stay. Friday night you are on your own. We suggest that you make a reservation at The Boonville Hotel and keep it in the family. Saturday morning’s simple repast is followed by a 9am farm tour with Tim. Then we will gather in the kitchen to start work on our evening meal and a light lunch. There will be an afternoon break of a couple of hours, then we will reconvene in the kitchen at 5pm. We provide recipes, ingredients and guidance, and sit down to enjoy it all around 7:30pm, depending on the level of socializing. Sunday morning is leisurely. Our simple breakfast is available between 8:30 and 9:30 and checkout is around noon. There is plenty of time for a walk and some idle time.

The Relaxed Farm Weekend cost is $1200 per couple and includes two nights in a guest cottage or our room with a view.

Available on selected dates throughout the year or as a group option on available weekends.

Cancellation Policy: If you cancel your reservation, the total cost for the weekend is non-refundable. We will do our best to fill your vacancy, in which case we will waive the balance. The deposit is not refundable.
