The Field Kitchen will be hosting their next Farm Class at Open Field Farm in Petaluma. These popular classes are an inspiring way to see how and where your food comes from, and to meet the people who are growing it. Open Field Farm is a diversified farm, raising grass fed beef, pastured eggs, chickens, and turkeys, pork, while also growing a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, dry beans and corn, flowers, and small grains.
Mid-October is the perfect time of year at Open Field because summer
tomatoes, zucchini and peppers will still be in full swing, and we should also
see the first of the fall crops such as winter squash and Swiss chard. We will
start the day with a tour of the fields and will learn how farmers Seth and
Sarah James use only organic and biodynamic farming practices. We will pick the produce for our cooking class directly from the plants—it doesn’t get any fresher or more local than that! The tour includes a pick-your-own herb garden, where students can snip fresh herbs to take home. After, we will prepare a seasonal lunch together using the absolute freshest produce from Open Field and then sit down for a feast together. The menu will include Grilled Grass-fed Beef tacos with Farm-fresh Salsas. We will make our own tortillas!
