Granor Farm was founded as an educational camp for kids, and in our 20th year we continue that mission through a broad series of culinary classes. From our casual monthly Sourdough Club to topic-specific hands-on Workshops, guests can select classes that match both their interests and how involved they want to be. Prefer to sit back and soak it all in? Our fan-favorite Chef’s Table is a live cooking show-style experience, where you learn from a Granor chef in action, ask questions, taste dishes as they’re prepared, and sip a glass of wine (no chopping required).

Each month we offer an evening-long deep dive on a specific topic, inviting attendees to roll up their sleeves and cook a multi-course meal together.
